Protospirura muricola Gedoelst, 1916 (Spiruridae) in eastern spiny mice ( Acomys dimidiatus ): more than a decade of stability in frequency distributions of worm burdens, and evidence for both frequent low-dose and clumped transmission
The study aims to examine the stability of frequency distributions of worm burdens in eastern spiny mice infected with Protospirura muricola.
Longitudinal observations of eastern spiny mice over a decade to assess worm burdens.
Analysis of transmission patterns focusing on low-dose and clumped transmission dynamics.
Consistent patterns in the frequency distribution of worm burdens were observed over a decade.
Evidence suggests both frequent low-dose and clumped transmission of the parasite within the host population.
