Pentastomida are lung parasites of a variety of hosts, mainly reptiles. Raillietiella is the genus with the largest number of species, whose taxonomic identification is still largely based on morphological data alone. In this classification, differences divide the genus into morphotypic groups. The Raillietiella parasites of insectivorous lizards,...
Because of their host's energetic exhaustion, parasites are among the first species to be influenced by environmental changes. The change in habitats caused by human activities can negatively influence ecosystems, reducing the resistance of host species to parasite attacks. There is little information on the role of urban disturbance in altering di...
In this study, we investigated the infection by pulmonary parasites in the water snake Helicops angulatus. We found four nymphs of the pentastomide parasite Sebekia oxycephala, parasitizing two adult females H. angulatus collected in the municipality of Rio Tinto, Paraíba, Brazil. This occurrence is likely due to the nymphs of this parasite directl...
Predation is one of the main negative pressures affecting natural
populations (Passos et al. 2016. Biota Neotropica 16:1–5), but
it can also be of extreme importance to reduce prey population
densities (Vitt and Lacher 1981. Herpetologica 37:53–63; Rocha
and Vrcibradic 1998. Revista Ciência e Cultura 50:364–368; Teixeira 2001. Atlântica 23:121–132)...
This represents the first record of B. erythromelas as definitive host for C. tretapoda
