Immune gene expression and diversity in relation to gastrointestinal parasite burden in small mammals
… in response to the reoccurring adaptations of parasites and pathogens. A large number of MHC studies were performed in a wide range of wildlife species aiming to understand the role of immune gene diversity in parasite resistance under natural selection conditions. Methodically, most of this …

Gastrointestinal parasite infections in Chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) of the Cape Peninsula, South Africa : the influence of individual, group and anthropogenic factors
… the Cape Peninsula, South Africa, have affected gastrointestinal parasite infections in a free-living population of chacma baboons (Papio ursinus). Data on parasite diversity and prevalence were obtained from 616 faecal samples collected from over 350 individuals in eight troops (six from the …

The effects of habitat disturbance, host traits, and host physiology on patterns of gastrointestinal parasite infection in black howler monkeys (Alouatta pigra)
… extraction and selective logging, can alter host-parasite dynamics and increase the risk of infectious diseases in wild primates. However, little is known regarding the proximate ecological factors that drive this relationship, and whether such effects are maintained over time affecting primate …

Gastrointestinal Parasite infections in Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus) of the Cape Peninsula, South Africa: the influence of individual, group, and anthropogenic factors
… disturbance can lead to the alteration of host-parasite dynamics and ultimately influence the mechanisms that regulate wildlife populations. This study investigates whether anthropogenic changes in the Cape Peninsula, South Africa, have affected gastrointestinal parasite infections in a …

The Devil's in the Diversity: Divergent Parasite Faunas and their Impacts on Body Condition in Two Greenland Caribou Populations
Parasites are important components of ecosystems; significantly impacting host health, and informing on contemporary and historical host movements and environmental changes. I characterised gastrointestinal parasite faunas and assessed their associations to body condition and fecundity in two …

Parasite communities and their identification in wild and domestic herbivores in Iceland
Gastrointestinal parasites affect the health of individual animals, their herds and other animal populations overlapping in range and diet. The maintenance of parasites within a host population or within an ecosystem depends in part on parasite species overlap between different host species. …

Evaluation of the Moringa oleifera leaf meal effects on milk yield, milk quality and the helminthic load of saanen dairy goats in rangeland conditions at Neudamm farm
… yield and quality as well as the reduction of gastrointestinal parasite egg load. The study used a 3x3 Crossover Latin square Design to determine the effects of 0g, 10g and 30g/day Moringa oleifera leaf meal on the milk yield and quality whilst a completely randomised design was used to …

Genomic selection studies in sheep using simulation and real data
… data on genotype-by-environment interactions for parasite resistance in U.S. Katahdin sheep. The first study summarizes the status of genetic improvement in Turkey, one of the world's largest sheep producers. Akkaraman and Morkaraman are two local breeds that have adapted well to harsh …

A Survey of the Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasites and Associated Risk Factors in Children in a Rural City of the Dominican Republic
Gastrointestinal parasites impose a great and often silent burden of morbidity and mortality on poor populations in developing countries. Veron, Dominican Republic (DR), is a rural city in the southeastern corner of the country where many Dominicans and Haitians migrate to for work in support and …
