- 1From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground The prevalence of parasitic infections among commensal animals such as black and brown rats in many tropical countries is high and in comparison with studies on rodents in temperate climates, little is known...
- 2From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground The aims of this study were to evaluate the host-tick-pathogen interface of Babesia spp. and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in restored areas in both questing and host-attached Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor...
- 3From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedFormal publication of the Culex genome sequence has closed the human disease vector triangle by meeting the Anopheles gambiae and Aedes aegypti genome sequences. Compared to these other mosquitoes, Culex...
- 4From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Cattle babesiosis is a tick-borne disease of cattle that has severe economic impact on cattle producers throughout the world's tropical and subtropical countries. The most severe form of the disease is...
- 5From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The reduction of malaria parasite transmission by preventing human-vector contact is critical in lowering disease transmission and its outcomes. This underscores the need for effective and long lasting...
- 6From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis (CNM) has been described in the hard tick Ixodes ricinus and rodents as well as in some severe cases of human disease. The aims of this study were to identify DNA of CNM...
- 7From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Giardia duodenalis is a common protozoan parasite of humans and animals. Genetic characterization of single loci indicates the existence of eight groups called assemblages, which differ in their host...
- 8From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Laboratory studies of host-seeking olfactory behaviour in sandflies have largely been restricted to the American visceral leishmaniasis vector Lutzomyia longipalpis. In comparison, almost nothing is known...
- 9From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Development of large scale agro-industries are subject to serious environmental modifications. In malaria endemic areas this would greatly impact on the transmission paradigm. Two cross-sectional...
- 10From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The use of insecticides to control malaria vectors is essential to reduce the prevalence of malaria and as a result, the development of insecticide resistance in vector populations is of major concern....
- 11From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Studies on malaria vector ecology and development/evaluation of vector control strategies often require measures of mosquito life history traits. Assessing the fecundity of malaria vectors can be carried...
- 12From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The rat lungworm Angiostrongylus cantonensis can cause eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in humans. This nematode's main definitive hosts are rodents and its intermediate hosts are snails. This parasite was...
- 13From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) represent a global challenge in public health. It is estimated that 50 to 100 million infections occur each year causing approximately 20,000 deaths...
- 14From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of chronic parasitic diseases and related conditions that are the most common diseases among the 2*7 billion people globally living on less than US$2 per day....
- 15From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThis review explores some of the reasons why food webs seem to contain relatively few parasite species when compared to the full diversity of free living species in the system. At present, there are few coherent food...
- 16From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease, is currently recognized as a complex of six lineages or Discrete Typing Units (DTU): TcI-TcVI. Recent studies have identified a divergent group within TcI -...
- 17From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Sand flies are the only biologically adapted vectors of Leishmania parasites, however, a possible role in the transmission of Leishmania has been proposed for other hematophagous ectoparasites such as...
- 18From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-Reviewed
- 19From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Current efforts are underway to quantify the chemical concentration in a treated air space that elicits a spatial repellent (deterrent) response in a vector population. Such information will facilitate...
- 20From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 5, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The Asian bush mosquito, Aedes japonicus japonicus, a potential vector of several viruses, was first detected in Germany in 2008 on the Swiss-German border. In the following years, this invasive species...
