Monospecific helminth and arthropod infections in an urban population of brown rats from Doha, Qatar (2001)
Journal Article
Abu-Madi, M. A., Lewis, J. W., Mikhail, M., El-Nagger, M., & Behnke, J. M. (2001). Monospecific helminth and arthropod infections in an urban population of brown rats from Doha, Qatar. Journal of Helminthology, 75(4),

Parasitic infections were studied for the first time in an urban population of brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) from Doha. Only one species of helminth was found, the cestode Hymenolepis diminuta, and one ectoparasite, the flea Xenopsylla astia, from a...

The radiation of Partula land snails has produced a large array of distinct morphological, ecological and behavioural types occupying many tropical volcanic islands in the Pacific Ocean. Within the Society Islands of French Polynesia, the mode of evo...

The house dust mite Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus allergen Der p 1 elicits IgE antibody responses in a significant proportion of patients suffering from dust mite allergy. We have recently shown that Der p 1 proteolytically cleaves a cell surface mo...

A phylogeny of the land snails (Gastropoda: Pulmonata) (2001)
Journal Article
Wade, C. M., Mordan, P. B., & Clarke, B. (2001). A phylogeny of the land snails (Gastropoda: Pulmonata). Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 268(1465), 413-422. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2000.1372

We have undertaken the first large-scale molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Stylommatophora. Sequences of the ribosomal RNA gene-cluster were examined in 104 species of snails and slugs from 50 families, encompassing all the currently recognized...

Molecular evolutionary relationships between partulid land snails of the Pacific (2001)
Journal Article
Goodacre, S. L., & Wade, C. M. (2001). Molecular evolutionary relationships between partulid land snails of the Pacific. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 268(1462), 1-7. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2000.1322

Adaptive radiation of partulid land snails in the tropical Pacific has produced an extraordinary array of distinctive morphological, ecological and behavioural types. Here we use part of the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene cluster to investigate the relat... Read More about Molecular evolutionary relationships between partulid land snails of the Pacific.

Factors affecting the component community structure of haemoparasites in bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) from the Mazury Lake District region of Poland (2001)
Journal Article

We tested the null hypothesis that populations of hosts trapped in isolated neighbouring locations showing comparable habitat quality, should support similar helminth parasite communities. The study was undertaken in a 2-week period in late summer in...
