Parasites have evolved independently in numerous animal lineages, and they now make up
a considerable proportion of the biodiversity of life. Not only do they impact humans and …

Protocols for characterizing taxonomic assemblages by deep sequencing of short DNA
barcode regions (metabarcoding) have revolutionized our understanding of microbial …

The parasite community of animals is generally influenced by host physiology, ecology, and
phylogeny. Therefore, sympatric and phylogenetically related hosts with similar ecologies …

Energetics may provide a useful currency for studying the ecology of parasite assemblages
within individual hosts. Parasite assemblages may also provide powerful models to study …

A review of various factors affecting parasite assemblages in fish hosts is presented. These
factors are broadly divided into two: Biotic and abiotic factors. Biotic factors such as host age …

The role of ecological and phylogenetic processes is fundamental to understanding how
parasite communities are structured. However, for coral reef fishes, such information is …

This work aimed to study the temporal variation of metazoan parasites of Trichiurus lepturus
from the coastal zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Between July 2006 and June 2007, there …

We surveyed copepods parasitic on the fishes at Palmyra, a remote atoll in the Central Indo-
Pacific faunal region. In total, we collected 849 individual fish, representing 44 species, from …

The objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence of fish parasites in
farmed tilapia and catfish in Nyeri Central and Tetu sub-counties of Nyeri County, Kenya. A …

This study aimed to assess the contribution of hosts characteristics (rodents and marsupials)
in the organization of ectoparasite communities present in woodland patches in western …
