prevalence of cuterebra emasculator in squirrels in mississippi. | between 1977 and 1979, 1,997 gray squirrels (scriurus carolinensis) and 290 fox squirrels (s. niger) were examined for cuterebra emasculator myiasis. approximately 19% of the gray and 5% of the fox squirrels were infested with 1.9 and 2.5 larvae per host, respectively. myiasis was seen between 14 august and 29 october. peak infestations occurred in the second week of september. adult and subadult squirrels had higher infestations than juveniles. multiple infestations occurred in 51% of the hosts ... | 1981 | 7253103 |
insect/mammal associations: effects of cuterebrid bot fly parasites on their hosts. | the effect of parasites on their hosts has implications for basic and applied ecology (e.g., species' population dynamics and distributions, biological control, and threats to at-risk species) and coevolution. cuterebrid bot flies comprise one of the most-studied groups of insect parasites of mammals. interest in their impact dates from at least 1857, when cuterebra emasculator was so named because of the erroneous belief that its larvae castrate their hosts. this review addresses the effects of ... | 2007 | 16972767 |
