A morphological and phylogenetic analysis of Ornithodoros marinkellei (Acari: Argasidae), with additional notes on habitat and host usage
(Springer, 2018-10)Ornithodoros marinkellei was described from larvae collected on Pteronotus spp. bats in Colombia and Panama. More recently, this tick was reported in the Brazilian Amazon. Because some morphometric differences were observed ... -
A new model formulation for host depletion in parasitoids
(Elsevier, 2023-01)A new model of host depletion in the functional response of parasitoids is presented. Most existing models describe the dynamics of prey consumption as a sequential-memoryless/Markovian process of searching for, handling, ... -
Amblyomma parvitarsum (Acari: Ixodidae): localities, hosts and host-parasite ecology
(2014-01)Only a few aspects of the biology of Amblyomma parvitarsum Neumann are known. Adults of this hard tick species are parasites of South American camelids in the Andean plateau of Argentina, Bolivia, Peru and Chile and also ... -
Caracterización de cepas de "Magnaporthe oryzae" de distintos hospedantes y virulencia en arroz y trigo
(2017)El objetivo fue caracterizar la variabilidad genética de aislamientos de Sudamérica y explorar la patogenicidad de aislamientos de malezas sobre arroz y trigo. -
A comparative analysis of host feeding and life-history traits in parasitoid wasps
(2016-05)Feeding in insect parasitoids can have significant implications from behavioral and evolutionary ecology standpoints. Females of many species not only search for hosts to lay their eggs on, but also may use them as a food ... -
Comparative proteomics for the characterization of the most relevant Amblyomma tick species as vectors of zoonotic pathogens worldwide
(2014-06-13)Ticks transmit zoonotic pathogens worldwide. Nevertheless, very little information is available on their genome, transcriptome and proteome. Herein, we characterized the proteome of Amblyomma americanum adults and nymphs ... -
Conyza bonariensis as an alternative host for Colletotrichum species in Argentina
(Wiley, 2020-10)Aims: This study investigated the diversity of Colletotrichum isolates recovered from Conyza bonariensis leaves through the use of morphological characteristics, growth rate, carbon sources utilization and phylogenetic ... -
Discrimination by Ganaspis pelleranoi of Ceratitis capitata larvae previously parasitised by Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
(Taylor and Francis, 2022)Heterospecific and conspecific host discrimination, and super- and multiparasitism by the neotropical figitid Ganaspis pelleranoi were determined using 6-d-old Ceratitis capitata larvae in choice trials, where alternatives ... -
Ecological characterization of a tick community across a landscape gradient exhibiting differential anthropogenic disturbance in the Atlantic Forest ecoregion in Argentina
(2018-02)An ecological analysis of a tick (Ixodida: Ixodidae) community across a landscape gradient presenting differential anthropogenic disturbance in the Atlantic Forest ecoregion in Argentina was performed. Ticks were collected ... -
Exotic tick detected in Argentina on a tourist returning from South Africa
(Elsevier, 2021-02-12)The aim of this study was to report the finding of a nymph attached to an Argentinean tourist returning from South Africa. The nymph specimen was morphologically analysed, submitted to DNA extraction and amplifying the 16S ... -
First molecular characterization of Galba neotropica in Uruguay
(2016)Until recently, it was believed that only two lymnaeid species (i.e. Galba viatrix and Pseudosuccinea columella) occurred in Uruguay. However, based on a molecular approach, an additional species Galba cubensis, was recently ... -
Food and Host Searching Decisions Made by Ibalia leucospoides (Hymenoptera: Ibaliidae), a Parasitoid of Sirex noctilio (Hymenoptera:Siricidae)
(2012-07)During their adult life, parasitoids—insects that lay eggs in or on other arthropods eventually killing them- spend a significant proportion of their lifetime searching for hosts, this behavior will determine their future ... -
Las garrapatas de Uruguay : especies, hospedadores, distribución e importancia sanitaria
(Sociedad de Medicina Veterinaria del Uruguay, 2003-06)Se presenta una actualización de las especies de garrapatas de Uruguay. La lista comprende 31 especies que se clasificaron en las siguientes categorías: residentes (15 especies); probablemente residentes (3 especies); ... -
Host selection behaviour of the banded pine weevil, Pissodes castaneus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(Wiley, 2023-08)Pissodes castaneus represents an emerging pest species for Pinus spp. production in Latin America. This species attacks all the cultivated pine species in Patagonia Argentina causing wood damage and tree death. The objectives ... -
Host selection by Ibalia leucospoides based on temporal variations of volatiles from the hosts’ fungal symbiont
(2016-12)Insect parasitoids locate hosts via reliable and predictable cues such as volatile emissions from hosts and/or host plants. For insects that depend on mutualistic organisms, such as many wood-boring insects, symbiont-derived ... -
Host-related volatile cues used by a parasitoid wasp during foraging for its woodboring host
(Wiley, 2018-12)Parasitoids relymainly on infochemicals to search for their herbivore hosts to oviposit on. Megarhyssa nortoni (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) is a parasitoid of siricid wasp larvae which are concealed inside tree ... -
Liolaemus lizards (Squamata: Liolaemidae) as hosts for the nymph of Amblyomma parvitarsum (Acari: Ixodidae), with notes on Rickettsia infection
(2016)Adults of Amblyomma parvitarsum are common ectoparasites of South American camelids of the genera Lama and Vicugna, occuring in highlands of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Peru and also in Argentinean Patagonia. Whereas larval ... -
Mycobacterium bovis en fauna silvestre de la cuenca lechera de Santa Fe, Argentina = Mycobacterium bovis in wildlife of the dairy regions of Santa Fe (Argentina)
(2015-09)El control y la erradicación de la tuberculosis bovina basados en la detección de los animales infectados y su inmediata faena permitió lograr progresos satisfactorios en varios países y regiones, pero no todos pudieron ... -
New host species for Leptospira borgpetersenii and Leptospira interrogans serovar Copenhageni
