Diversity of microorganisms in Hyalomma aegyptium collected from spur-thighed t...
Norte, Ana Cláudia; Harris, David James; Silveira, Diogo; Nunes, Carolina Saramago; Núncio, Maria Sofia; Martínez, Eva Graciá; Giménez, AndrésTicks carry a diverse community of microorganisms including non-pathogenic symbionts, commensals, and pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, protozoans, and fungi. The assessment of tick-borne microorganisms (TBM) in tortoises and their ticks is essential to understand their eco-epidemiology, and to map and monitor potential pathogens to humans and other animals. The aim of this study was to characterize the div...
Prevalence and Diversity of Hepatozoon in Native and Exotic Geckos from Brazil
Harris, David James; Nojosa, Diva Maria Borges; Maia, João PedroHepatozoon is a genus of hemogregarines constituting the most widespread and common reptile hemoparasite. Although various molecular assessments of these parasites have been conducted in lizards from Africa and Europe, similar studies are needed for South American lizards. Through amplification and sequencing of fragments of the 18S rRNA gene, we assess the prevalence of Hepatozoon parasites in 230 geckos from ...
Assessing the influence of geographic distance in parasite communities of an ex...
Bezerra, Castiele Holanda; Pinheiro, Luan Tavares; Melo, Gabriela Cavalcante De; Zanchi-Silva, Djan; Queiroz, Murilo De Souza [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T17:26:54Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-01-01; The decay of similarity between biological communities with increasing geographical distance is a well-established pattern in ecology, but there are more complex factors acting on host population connections that influence this association for parasite communities, such as parasites' colonization abilit...
