| uncinaria sanguinis sp. n. (nematoda: ancylostomatidae) from the endangered australian sea lion, neophoca cinerea (carnivora: otariidae). | this study investigates the identity of hookworms parasitising the australian sea lion, neophoca cinerea (péron), from three colonies in south australia, australia. the australian sea lion is at risk of extinction because its population is small and genetically fragmented. using morphological and molecular techniques, we describe a single novel species, uncinaria sanguinis sp. n. (nematoda: ancylostomatidae). the new species is most similar to hookworms also parasitic in otariid hosts, uncinaria ... | 2014 | 25065131 |
| epidemiology of hookworm (uncinaria sanguinis) infection in free-ranging australian sea lion (neophoca cinerea) pups. | understanding the fundamental factors influencing the epidemiology of wildlife disease is essential to determining the impact of disease on individual health and population dynamics. the host-pathogen-environment relationship of the endangered australian sea lion (neophoca cinerea) and the parasitic hookworm, uncinaria sanguinis, was investigated in neonatal pups during summer and winter breeding seasons at two biogeographically disparate colonies in south australia. the endemic occurrence of ho ... | 2014 | 25056940 |
