Fig. 6 in Syngamus trachea in free-ranging white stork (Ciconia ciconia) nestlings in Switzerland

Fig. 6. Histopathological lesions observed in the respiratory tract of one of the affected animals from this study. Focal-extensive erosion and ulceration of the tracheal mucosa (large arrows) with thickening of the lamina propria (arrowheads) due to a mixed cell tracheitis and focal granuloma formation in animal WS3 (A). The inset shows a larger magnification of this granuloma, which consists of a necrotic core surrounded by few multinucleated giant cells (narrow arrows), macrophages, and heterophils. H&E staining. Partially degenerated parasitic structure within the lung parenchyma (dashed line) with multifocal acute hemorrhages (indented arrows) in the bronchi and parabronchi of animal WS3 (B). The inset shows a larger magnification of the degenerated parasite with surrounding granulomatous inflammation, composed of abundant multinuclear giant cells (narrow arrows), macrophages, heterophils and acute hemorrhage. H&E staining.

Fig. 3 in A tale of two nematodes: Climate mediates mustelid infection by nematodes across the geographical range

Fig. 3. Prediction of prevalence and infection intensity of Aonchotheca putorii and Molineus patens in the Northern Hemisphere based on averaged model estimates, using the WorldClim climate data set. Areas outside of the range of climatic variables used for model fitting are filled with checkerboard pattern. Transparency of the prediction colour reflects the coefficient of variation (CV) of predicted values (i.e. more uncertain prediction has more pattern tint). Predictions assumed the stomach was included in the analyses. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the Web version of this article.)

Fig. 2. Model results for Aonchotheca putorii and Molineus patens infection parameters in seven mustelid species. Panels show model-averaged predictions of prevalence and infection intensity depending on the part of the alimentary tract analysed and climatic conditions (seasonality in precipitation and mean temperature of the warmest quarter). Points and lines show the mean, whiskers or shading denote 95% confidence intervals. Remaining explanatory variables were kept at their mean values or most common factor levels. The distribution of the data is shown at the bottom axes as a histogram or density plots.

Fig. 3 in Raccoons contraband - The metazoan parasite fauna of free-ranging raccoons in central Europe

Fig. 3. Several factors influence the spread of Baylisascaris procyonis, infestation rates are higher in urban and agricultural environments than in semi-natural sites. Thus, a denser population of raccoons in urban areas has a beneficial effect on infestation numbers. However, other factors such as vegetation density as well as available food resources, microclimate, soil characteristics, and land use also influence the rate of B. procyonis infestation and zoonotic potential. An Unembryonated eggs are shed by the raccoon. Eggs undergo 2–4 weeks of development outside the body until the embryonated and infective stage is reached. Embryonated eggs can remain in the environment for several months and remain infectious. B In urban and agricultural areas, new intermediate hosts are frequently infected. These are either eaten by the raccoon or can become infected like the raccoon (e.g., dogs) and then also excrete eggs. C In urban and agricultural areas, there are usually other off-target hosts than in semi-natural areas. Here, for example, cattle or chickens have been confirmed as false hosts. In these hosts, visceral or ocular larva migrans is induced without the larvae being ingested by the raccoon. D Children can become infected with infectious stages and contract Larva migrans through constructed latrines as well as simple defecation in or near play facilities (e.g., sandboxes, climbing houses). E Due to the steady spread of raccoons, new false hosts are increasingly infected with eggs of B. procyonis, such as chicken birds (pheasants), even in semi-natural areas. F The normal life cycle of B. procyonis includes the prey of P. lotor such as various small mammals or birds. In Europe, these species also play the main role in semi-natural habitats. G Raccoons, as the primary host, become infected with B. procyonis by direct ingestion of embryonated eggs through contact with latrines and via excreted feces of infected raccoons. Numerous small mammals or birds serve as paratenic or intermediate hosts, passing larvae directly to the raccoon. The worms grow in the raccoon and can reach high densities in the raccoon's intestine.
