Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Variables that can influence health include age, sex, diet, condition, and parasites. Parasitism, by definition, is a relationship in which a parasite exploits (e.g., by feeding on tissue) its host. Animals come in contact with parasites frequently, including from feeding, and interacting with conspecifics and their environment, which may result in individuals harbouring multiple species of parasites. Parasites can cause hosts to upregulate their immunity, to spend energy repairing tissue damage, and to lose nutrients. It is assumed that these three demands will decrease host health. To evaluate this, I quantified coyote health using three indices, and tested if host health was related to helminth intensities and species richness. There were no significant relationships between log-intensity tracheal nodules or Taenia sp. tapeworms and the three measures of host health (Ps >0.07); however, there was a significant negative relationship between log-intensity Crenosoma vulpis fox lungworms and condition (P= 0.04), and log-intensity Uncinaria stenocephala hookworms and size (P= 0.02), condition (P= 0.04), and kidney-femur fat index (P 0.01). Next, I tested if coinfections were independent, and if helminth interactions were positive, negative, or negligible. Coyotes infected with tracheal nodules (Oslerus osleri) were more likely to be also infected with fox lungworms (Crenosoma vulpis; P= 0.0002), but four other pairs of helminth infections appeared to be independent of one another (Ps0.18). Interactions were undetectable for four of the five helminth combinations tested (P>0.13). However, mean intensities of Taenia sp. tapeworms were significantly higher in coyotes that also had hookworms (Uncinaria stenocephala; P= 0.03), consistent with a positive numeric response. This study found significant negative relationships between host health and some helminths, but associations were not universal for all species. Parasites are of concern for all organisms including humans, and investigating these relationships are important in improving our understanding of how to protect ourselves against infection.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: In order to analyze the role of coyotes, Canis latrans, as hosts of parasites and arthropod-borne diseases in the state of Georgia, USA, 38 coyotes representing 18 counties and multiple geographic regions of the state were dissected and analyzed for the presence of Dirofilaria immitis, intestinal parasites, ectoparasites, and tick-borne illnesses. Mosquitoes from the locations which the coyotes originated were trapped and analyzed for the presence of D. immitis larvae. In compliance with IACUC guidelines, coyotes were obtained from individuals who had previously hunted or trapped the coyotes for leisure. Parasites were identified based on morphological features with the use of dichotomous and pictorial keys. A total of 1086 parasites were collected: 215 intestinal nematodes, 116 cestodes, 1 acanthocephalan, 359 filarial nematodes, 128 ticks, 10 fleas, and 257 lice. Of the 38 coyotes examined, 21 had adult D. immitis present, 30 had adult parasites or ova present, and 19 had ticks present. Trends in prevalence and burden of parasites among different regions of the state, and different sexes, ages, and sizes of coyotes were analyzed. Three specimens had no parasite of any form present (7.89%), while 11 of the specimens were found to be affected by heartworms, intestinal parasites, and ectoparasites (28.94%). Of 30 specimens analyzed for exposure to tick-borne illness with the SNAP 4dx ELISA test, 10 were found to have been exposed to Ehrlichia canis or Ehrlichia ewingii (33%), and 1 was found to have been exposed to Borrelia burgdorferi (3.33%). Gravid trapping of mosquitoes yielded specimens belonging to 7 species which are vectors of D. immitis. Two mosquitoes were suspected to be infected with D. immitis larvae; however, molecular detection methods must be performed to confirm this. The results of this study provide a more diverse record of parasitism and arthropod-borne diseases in Georgia's coyote population as samples were taken from as many different locations throughout the state as possible. This study found coyotes to be wildlife hosts and modes of transportation for parasites which can negatively affect the health of both humans and domestic animals.
