Coyotes (Canis latrans) as New Intermediate Host of Canine Pathogenic Sarcocystis caninum and Sarcocystis svanai
Sarcocystis infections are common in the muscles of many hosts, but little is known about the prevalence and the species of Sarcocystis in the coyote (Canis latrans). Here, we identified 2 species of Sarcocystis, Sarcocystis caninum and ...

Parasitic Worms Impair Nutrient Assimilation and Reproductive Investment without Altering Macronutrient Preference in Female House Crickets
Growth and reproduction in insects are strongly influenced by dietary protein and carbohydrate intake, yet parasitism may alter how hosts acquire and allocate these resources. Hairworms (Nematomorpha) develop within arthropod hosts and c...
