Haemoproteus parasites are the most diverse among Haemosporida. However, their natural vectors (Culicoides) still poorly investigated and were identified for only a few parasite species lineages. The application of an integrative approach (insect dissection, microscopic analysis, molecular-based methods) is necessary in these studies, which have been carried out by research groups, mainly Europe. aim this study was (i) to determine Culicoides that naturally infected parasites, can support...
Studying the anthropogenic components of landscapes can provide a solid groundwork to better understand ecological patterns and processes. In this study, we assessed bird species richness composition in 5 different environmental conditions (well-preserved cloud forest, peri-urban urban greenspace, shade coffee plantation, cattle ranch) embedded landscape whose original vegetation was tropical montane forest. Our results showed that most similar structure physiognomy were forest with...
Haemoproteus (Parahaemoproteus) parasites are transmitted by Culicoides biting midges. However, the natural vectors of only six almost 180 recognized species have been identified. The aim this study was to investigate wild midges naturally infected with and understand interaction network between in Europe. were collected UV light traps from different sites Lithuania. Parous females morphologically identified based on their wings heads. PCR-based methods used detect DNA, salivary gland...
Investigations of host feeding behaviour in haematophagous insects are critical to assess transmission routes vector-borne diseases. Understanding if a certain species has ornithophilic or mammalophilic can facilitate future studies focused on pathogens and from species. Culicoides Latreille (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) vectors several pathogens, which include arboviruses, bacteria parasites considerable diversity vertebrate hosts. However, most the habits target that could transmit Bluetongue...
Haemoproteus species are widespread avian blood parasites belonging to Haemoproteidae (Haemosporida). Blood stages of these pathogens have been relatively well-investigated, though exo-erythrocytic (tissue) remain unidentified for the majority species. However, recent histopathological studies show that haemoproteins markedly affect bird organs during tissue merogony. This study investigated development (Parahaemoproteus) attenuatus (lineage hROBIN1), common parasite flycatchers...
Abstract Background Species of Plasmodium (Haemosporida, Plasmodiidae) are remarkably diverse haemoparasites. Information on genetic diversity avian malaria pathogens has been accumulating rapidly, however exo-erythrocytic development these organisms remains insufficiently addressed. This is unfortunate because, contrary to species parasitizing mammals, the parasites undergo several cycles development, often resulting in damage various organs. Insufficient knowledge most described precludes...
Wetlands are one of the most productive ecosystems in world. However, they have received little attention the tropics. Biodiversity data from Terminos-Centla wetlands is limited despite conservation efforts to protect these wetlands. In this study we list medium-szied and large mammals 8 sites within wetlands. We recorded 30 native 1 introduced species, representing 9 orders, 14 families, 27 genera. Four recorded species Threatened, Endangered, under special protection...
El área de distribución los jaguares en México se ha reducido por la pérdida y fragmentación del hábitat, disminución presas su cacería represalia depredación. Tabasco, el oeste Campeche norte Chiapas comprenden una las regiones donde este efecto sido más intenso. Con objetivo determinar áreas persisten esta región, 2006 a 2012, usando diferentes fuentes comoentrevistas, fototrampeo medios comunicación obtuvimos 46 registros jaguar: 16 entrevistas, 28 2 comunicación. En no obtuvieron....
Haemoproteus species (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae) are cosmopolitan blood parasites that affect bird fitness and health. Recent discoveries based on the application of molecular markers showed exo-erythrocytic or tissue stages haemoproteids damage various internal organs including brain. However, patterns development remain unclear for most described species. This study aimed to understand in naturally infected Thrush nightingales Luscinia luscinia (Muscicapidae). Infections were confirmed...
El coyote (Canis latrans) es una especie que en los últimos 30 años se ha expandido las áreas tropicalesde México y Centroamérica. En esta nota registra por primera vez el estado de Campeche, México.Utilizando fototrampeo, mayo 2009 a julio 2012 obtuvieron 29 registros coyotes provenientes 7sitios localizados oeste del estado. registro Campeche incrementa 15 16 especies decarnívoros reportadas para
