Impact of biofumigation on reducing swine parasite contamination on organic pastures

Autor: Yuzhi Li, Sara Major, Rick Carr, Alexander D. Hernandez

This study explored whether biofumigation with rapeseed can reduce swine parasite eggs in pasture soil. Pastures were subjected to four treatments: rapeseed or Ladino clover pastures, each with or without biofumigation (i.e. mechanical incorporation

The myxoma virus (a microparasite) reduced wild rabbit numbers worldwide when introduced in the 1950s, and is known to interact with co-infecting helminths (macroparasites) causing both increases and decreases in macroparasite population size. In the

A study of the epidemiology of myxomatosis and the protozoan liver parasite, Eimeria stiedae, in a population of wild rabbits in Scotland from 1977 to 2010 is reported. Rabbits were collected on a monthly basis resulting in a total of 5,337 animals e

Publikováno v: Journal of Insect Behavior. 25:352-361

Dung beetles serve as the intermediate host for Streptopharagus pigmentatus, a nematode parasite that infects an old world primate, the Japanese Macaque (Macaca fuscata). This study compares the behaviors of infected and uninfected beetles in both tr
