This review addresses the biodiversity, biology, distribution, ecology, epidemiology, and
consumer health significance of the so far known species of Anisakis, both in their natural …

Today, we are witnessing changes in the spatial distribution and abundance of many
species, including ticks and their associated pathogens. Evidence that these changes are …

Innumerable approaches to analyse genetic data are now available to guide conservation,
ecological and agricultural projects. However, streamlined and accessible tools are needed …

Numerous specimens of the 3 sibling species of the Anisakis simplex species complex (A.
pegreffii, A. simplex (senso stricto)), and A. simplex sp. C) recovered from cetacean species …

We propose that clonal evolution in micropathogens be defined as restrained recombination
on an evolutionary scale, with genetic exchange scarce enough to not break the prevalent …

Null alleles and Wahlund effects are well known causes of heterozygote deficits in empirical
population genetics studies as compared to Hardy–Weinberg genotypic expectations. Some …

Disease ecologists strive to understand the causes and consequences of parasite infection,
including the emergence, spread, persistence and evolution of infectious disease. These …

Population genetic studies provide insights into the basic biology of arthropod disease
vectors by estimating dispersal patterns and their potential to spread pathogens. In wingless …

Background Toxoplasma gondii is found worldwide, but distribution of its genotypes as well
as clinical expression of human toxoplasmosis varies across the continents. Several studies …

Leishmania species of the subgenus Viannia and especially Leishmania braziliensis are
responsible for a large proportion of New World leishmaniasis cases. The reproductive …
