In particular, the estimation of the years of life with disability includes a weighting factor that is meant to account for the severity of the disease. This is difficult to estimate for many parasitic diseases. 1 million. , 2010). g. Leishmania– HIV) can have major implications for disease progression and outcome. 4 Economic consequences of parasitic diseases of wildlife Whether it is appropriate to use economic costing when considering wildlife is a controversial topic: how much is a blackbird worth?
By contrast, asexual reproduction would be expected to be favoured where parasites were absent or the level of challenge reduced. Although there are several instances of exactly this in the literature, they remain remarkably few. The best-known example is that of the snail Potampyrgus antipodarum that originated in New Zealand and has since spread to many parts of the world. It exists as sexually reproducing populations, asexually-reproducing populations, and mixed sexually- and asexually-reproducing populations.
Italics ‘normal’ script Ascaris lumbricoides (Linnaeus, 1758) Genus specific epithet naming authority Genus + specific epithet = the binomen, also called the ‘species name’ Surprisingly, there is no universally accepted definition of what is meant by the term ‘species’.
