Parasitol Res . 2021 Jul; 120(8):2953-2957. PMID: 34232389
Invasive species can carry parasites to introduced locations, which may be key to understand the success or failure of species establishment and the invasive potential of introduced species. We compared...

Parasitology . 2020 Oct; 148(1):42-52. PMID: 33070783
Although parasites represent a major component of biodiversity, they remain poorly assessed, especially in remote regions. In this study, we screened 461 reptiles from Socotra, the largest and most biologically...

Tome B, Pereira A, Harris D, Carretero M, Perera A
Parasitology . 2019 Mar; 146(6):728-739. PMID: 30871644
Oceanic islands are hotspots of biodiversity due to their high levels of endemism, with the Canary Islands being a notable example. A previous molecular study on the biogeography and host...

Jegede H, Tome B, Perera A, Omobowale T
Turkiye Parazitol Derg . 2018 May; 42(1):28-32. PMID: 29780016
Objective: Understanding the processes that drive parasite diversification, distribution, and abundance is central to disentangle the dynamics and evolution of diseases. In this study, we screened African rock pythons from...

Tome B, Pereira A, Jorge F, Carretero M, Harris D, Perera A
Parasit Vectors . 2018 Mar; 11(1):190. PMID: 29554983
Background: Host-parasite relationships are expected to be strongly shaped by host specificity, a crucial factor in parasite adaptability and diversification. Because whole host communities have to be considered to assess...

Hepatozoon spp. (Apicomplexa: Haemogregarinidae) are the most commonly reported hemoparasites from snakes. Of over 300 Hepatozoon species identified, more than 120 were described from snakes. However, recent genetic assessments have...
