  • Keanekaragaman Ektoparasit Pada Tikus Rumah Rattus Tanezumi Dan Tikus Polinesia Rattus Exulans Di Daerah Enzootik Pes Lereng Gunung Merapi, Jawa Tengah
    National Institute of Health Research and Development Indonesian Ministry of Health, 2004
    Co-Authors: Ristiyanto R., B D. T., H F. D., Notosoedarmo S.
    Abstract:

    Study on poly-Ectoparasitism and index diversity of ectoparasite species of roof rat Rattus tanezumi and Polynesian rat Rattus exulans of the slopes of Mount Merapi, Selo and Cepogo sub district, Boyolali district, Central Java was conducted from May-December 2000. The aim of this study was to accounter the poly-Ectoparasitism and index diversity of ectoparasite species in Rattus tanezumi and Rattus exulans. Five main groups of ectoparasites were found on the bodies of roof rat and Polynesian rat were mites, chiggers, ticks, lice and fleas. In the bodies of roof rats R tanezumi were found 10 species of ectoparasites. They were 2 species of fleas, Xenopsylla cheopis and Stivalius cognatus, 2 species of lice Polyplax spinulosa and Hoplopleura pasifica, 5 species of chiggers Leptotrombidium deliensis, L. lacunosa,and Gahrliepia disparunguis, 2 species of mites Laelap echidninus and L. nuttalli and 1 species of tick Ixodes sp., whereas in the bodies of polynesian rat Rattus exulans were found all of species ectoparasites, exceptly chigger L. lacunosa and ticks Ixodes sp. Species of chiggers L. fletcheri and Celadonta were found too in the bodies of Rattus exulans. Poly-Ectoparasitism and indexs diversity of ectoparasites species on the bodies Rattus tanezumi and Rattus exulans (male and female) in domestic and peridomestic habitat in slope of Merapi Mountain, Central Java were not different significantly

  • Ectoparasitism during an avian disease outbreak an experiment with mycoplasma infected house finches and ticks
    International journal for parasitology. Parasites and wildlife, 2020
    Co-Authors: Dieter Heylen, Maria Teresa Reinosoperez, Laura B Goodman, Keila V Dhondt, Andre A Dhondt
    Abstract:

    Hosts are typically co-parasitized by multiple species. Parasites can benefit or suffer from the presence of other parasites, which can reduce or increase the overall virulence due to competition or facilitation. Outcomes of new multi-parasite systems are seldom predictable. In 1994 the bacterium Mycoplasma gallisepticum jumped from poultry to songbirds in which it caused an epidemic throughout North America. Songbirds are often parasitized by hard ticks, and can act as reservoirs for tick-borne pathogens. We tested the hypothesis that Mycoplasma infection in house finches influences North America's most important tick vector Ixodes scapularis, by affecting the tick's feeding success, detachment behaviour and survival to the next stage. Most ticks detached during the daylight hours irrespective of the bird's disease status and time since infestation. Birds incrementally invested in anti-tick resistance mechanisms over the course of the experiment; this investment was made earlier in the Mycoplasma-infected birds. At higher tick densities, the feeding success on birds with more severe conjunctivitis was lower than in the uninfected birds. Throughout the experiment we found positive density dependent effects on the tick's feeding success. More diseased hosts suffered more from the tick infestations, as shown by reduced haematocrits. Three Mycoplasma-infected birds died during the weeks following the experiment, although all birds were kept in optimal housing conditions. Mycoplasma made the bird a less accessible and valuable host for ticks, which is an example of ecological interference. Therefore, Mycoplasma has the potential to ultimately reduce transmission outcomes of tick-borne pathogens via songbird hosts.

  • Ectoparasites in guinea pigs (Galea spixii Wagler, 1831) captive in semiarid region of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil
    Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido, 2011
    Co-Authors: Pereira, Josivania Soares
    Abstract:

    Os roedores silvestres quando criados em cativeiro podem ser acometidos por algumas doenças de natureza infecciosa ou parasitária, o que afeta a sanidade e bem-estar destes animais. Nesta linha, esse trabalho objetivou identificar a ectofauna natural do preá Galea spixii criado nas condições de cativeiro no semiárido do Rio Grande do Norte e estudar o comportamento da dinâmica parasitaria do Ectoparasitismo mais prevalente. O estudo foi realizado em 40 espécimes machos adultos de G. spixii cativos do Centro de Multiplicação de Animais Silvestres da Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido. Os exemplares foram anestesiados e examinados para busca dos ectoparasitos, durante os meses de março a outubro de 2010. Todos os preás estudados apresentaram resultados positivos para ectoparasitos, dentre os quais, Amblyomma sp., Demodex sp. e Gliricola quadrisetosa. A última espécie citada foi a de maior prevalência. Ao relacionar G. quadrisetosa com a área corporal dorsal e lateral de G. spixii, apenas uma das várias correlações feitas, apresentou diferença estatística significativa (p0,05). Da ectofauna identificada em G. spixii, notifica-se Demodex sp. como primeiro registro neste roedor nas condições semiáridas do Brasil. Os dados sugerem que a área corporal e o período não interferiram na infrapopulação de G. quadrisetosa encontrada em G. spixii.The wild rodents when bred in captivity may be affected by some infectious or parasitic diseases, which affects the health and welfare of these animals. Based on this, we aimed to work in order to identify the natural ectofauna cavy Galea spixii raised in conditions of captivity in the semi arid region of Rio Grande do Norte and study the behavior of the dynamics of the Ectoparasitism more prevalent. The study was performed in 40 specimens adult male of G. spixii captives of Centro de Multiplicação de Animais Silvestres of the Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Arid. The specimens were anesthetized and examined for ectoparasites during the research, in the months from March to October 2010. All guinea pigs studied were positive for ectoparasites, among them, Amblyomma sp. Demodex sp. and Gliricola quadrisetosa. The latter species was the most prevalent. By linking G. quadrisetosa with the dorsal and lateral body surface area of G. spixii, just in one of the correlations made, showed statistically significant differences (p 0.05). From the ectofauna identified in the G. spixii we notify the Demodex sp. as first recorded in this rodent in semi arid conditions in Brazil. The data suggests that body area and the climate did not interfere in infra population of G. quadrisetosa found in G. spixii
