Abstract:

Background: Gastrointestinal parasitic infections remain a significant global health concern in livestock, involving parasites from the Trematoda, Cestoda, and Nematoda classes. These infections can severely impact animal health and productivity. Purpose: This comparative study to evaluate the effectiveness of oral albendazole versus subcutaneous ivermectin in reducing gastrointestinal parasite infestations in cattle maintained at the Teaching Factory of the State Polytechnic of Lampung. Case: Eight cattle exhibited clinical signs including emaciation, dull coat, foul-smelling and dark-colored

Abstract:

Introduction. Causes of iron deficiency anemia include inadequate dietary intake, increased body requirements, reduced iron absorption, chronic inflammation, and chronic blood loss. Individuals residing in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas are prone to iron deficiency, primarily due to inadequate dietary intake, with parasitic infestations being a rare cause. Pediculosis, caused by Pediculus humanus capitis, is an ectoparasitic infestation of the human scalp. Case Report. We present the case of a 52-year-old Caucasian female who sought emergency medical attention due to progressive fatigue

Abstract:

Background Scabies is an ectoparasitic infestation that can easily spread during close human contact and in overcrowded areas such as prisons and public places where sanitation is a problem. Globally, as many as 300 million people are infested with scabies each year. Within Ethiopia, its burden in institutions like prisons is not well-studied. As a consequence, we sought to estimate the prevalence of scabies and also identify factors associated with it among prison inmates in southern Ethiopia.

A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Narayanganj District Veterinary Hospital from October 11 to November 9, 2024, to determine the prevalence of common feline diseases and associated drug usage. A total of 142 cats was examined, of which 119 (83.8%) were diagnosed with various diseases, while 23 (16.2%) were clinically healthy.

Abstract:

Bat ectoparasites have a complex natural history narrowly tied to their hosts at ecological, behavioral, and evolutionary scales. As flying and social organisms, bats represent a potential mechanism of dispersal, a source of feeding, and a roost for ectoparasite reproduction. The chiggerflea Hectopsylla pulex (Siphonaptera: Tungidae) is widely distributed across the Neotropics. Females of this ectoparasite have been found in their neosomal form on bats of the family Molossidae, Noctilionidae, Phyllostomidae, and Vespertilionidae. Here we present the record of infestation of chiggerfleas on the

SUMMARYParasites exposed to fast-developing hosts experience a variety of conditions over a short time period. Only few studies in vertebrate-ectoparasite systems have integrated the timing of ectoparasite infestations in the host's development into the search for factors explaining ectoparasite burden. In this study we examined the temporal pattern of attachment in a nidicolous tick (Ixodes arboricola) throughout the development of a songbird (Parus major). In the first experiment, we exposed bird clutches at hatching to a mix of the 3 tick instars (larvae, nymphs and adults), and monitored t

These host specific, blood-sucking insects are morphologically adapted for life on mammals: they are wingless, dorso-ventrally flattened, possess tibio-tarsal claws for clinging to host hair, and have piercing mouthparts for feeding.

Scabies, caused by Sarcoptes scabiei ectoparasites, is a skin infestation marked by itching and erythematous lesions. Recognized as a global public health issue, especially in crowded settings, it was added to the Neglected Tropical diseases list by the World Health Organization in 2017. The International Alliance for the Control of Scabies (IACS) provides diagnostic criteria, emphasizing definitive, clinical, and suspicious cases. Microscopic examination is key for a definitive diagnosis, while clinical and suspected cases rely on characteristic lesions and patient history.

Abstract:

Immune ability and immune expression have been viewed as life-history traits that are influenced by such factors as the likelihood of being parasitized, intensity and costs of parasitism, and trade-offs associated with immune expression. In this paper we show that different patterns of infestation by a generalist ectoparasite, Arrenurus planus Marshall (Arrenuridae: Hydrachnida), do not fully explain the variation in immune expression across four species of sympatric damselflies (Lestidae: Zygoptera). Within species, no gender biases in immune expression were evident. Whereas both males and fe

Examination of about 60,000 scleractinian corals of the families Dendrophylliidae, Euphylliidae and Fungiidae for the presence of associated wentletrap snails (Gastropoda: Epitoniidae) revealed various ectoparasitic life history strategies. Twenty Indo-Pacific wentletrap species were found, which were either host-specific or generalist. Most species were associated with mushroom corals, especially free-living species belonging to the Fungiidae. Snails showed different preferences with regard to their position relative to mushroom corals, the host’s size and its substrate. No preferences for de

This study presents the first demographic assessment of M. gaudiimontanum using the capture-recapture method to estimate population size, survival, and detection probabilities, focusing on differences in age, sex, female color morphs, and parasite infestation.

Abstract:

Since its migration from the Asian honey bee (Apis cerana) to the European honey bee (Apis mellifera), the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor has emerged as a major issue for beekeeping worldwide. Due to a short history of coevolution, the host–parasite relationship between A. mellifera and V. destructor is unbalanced, with honey bees suffering infestation effects at the individual, colony and population levels. Several control solutions have been developed to tackle the colony and production losses due to Varroa, but the burden caused by the mite in combination with other biotic and abiotic

Tungiasis is a neglected parasitic skin disease caused by the permanent penetration of the female sand flea (also called jigger flea) Tunga penetrans into the skin of its host. After penetration, most commonly on the feet, the flea undergoes an impressing hypertrophy, and some days later the abdominal segments of the flea have enlarged up to the size of about 1 cm. The flea infestation is associated with poverty and occurs in many resource-poor communities in the Caribbean, South America and Africa. In this review, a historical overview on tungiasis is given.

Sea lice have substantial impacts on farm economics and potentially nearby wild salmonid populations. The most common method of controlling sea louse infestations is application of chemicals. However, most farming regions worldwide have observed resistance to the small set of treatment chemicals that are available. Despite this, there has
