Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of Babesia bigemina infection and associated risk factors in Crioula Lageana cattle, a Brazilian native breed known for its tick resistance. Blood samp...

Abstract The genus Amblyomma has the largest number of tick species in the Neotropical region. Amblyomma ovale displays high ecological plasticity and can be found in different habitats and a variety of vertebrate hosts....

Abstract Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by Leishmania spp., transmitted to hosts through the bite of female phlebotomine sandflies, with domestic dogs serving as reservoirs for the disease. Understanding the...

Abstract The objective of this study was to describe the positivity of intestinal parasitosis in cats from the city of Jataí, Goiás, as well as to determine the accuracy of different parasitological techniques applied....

Abstract Aplectana comprises species of gastrointestinal helminths commonly found parasitizing amphibians and reptiles worldwide. However, most species of the genus are described based only on morphological traits. Durin...

Abstract Species of the chewing louse genus Neopsittaconirmus Conci, 1942 are host-specific parasites on Old World and Australasian parrots (Psittaciformes), infesting both wild and captive birds. Despite veterinarian pr...

Abstract Rhipicephalus microplus is an ectoparasite responsible for causing economic losses in livestock farming totalling approximately $3.24 billion dollars per year. The main control method involves the use of chemica...

Abstract Growing antiparasitic resistance challenges parasite control in livestock, increasing interest in natural product-based alternatives for animal health and food quality. This study evaluated the in vitro activity...

Abstract The study of the diversity of tick-borne agents in wild animals enables a better understanding of the distribution of pathogens in the country, the identification of potential reservoirs for these agents, the ma...

Abstract Lice are obligatory ectoparasites of birds and mammals, possessing mouthparts adapted for feeding on the blood and/or keratinized tissue of their hosts. Recording parasites that may cause economic and sanitary l...

Abstract This study reports the first record of candiru, Vandellia sp. parasitizing the freshwater stingray Potamotrygon scobina in the Amazon basin, Brazil. In April 2018, a specimen of Potamotrygon scobina was collecte...

Abstract Non-human primates are potential hosts for helminths of various phyla, and the presence of these parasites can cause changes in organ morphology and functionality. In this study, we present the alterations induc...

Abstract Parasite-host interactions are shaped by environmental and biological factors, leading to diverse host impacts ranging from tissue damage to physiological impairments. The Tocantins-Araguaia basin, particularly ...

Abstract We analyzed the distribution of endoparasites in five species of Hylidae frogs during their reproductive period, aiming to understand how the host's habitat influences the parasites. Five anuran species (Boana r...
