Another factor inhibiting the finch is a high level of infection by an endoparasitic mite which affects its respiratory system. |
The particular groups of root-knot, cyst, endoparasitic and ectoparasitic nematodes are covered. |
On the other hand, ectoparasitic nematodes would compete directly for food with endoparasitic nematodes. |
The only indication of endoparasitic infection in the present study was the eggs of an unknown species recovered from the intestinal tract. |
The order Strepsiptera are obligate endoparasitic insects that are known to parasitize seven insect orders, including solitary and social Hymenoptera. |
It embraces some 300 described members which are exclusively endoparasitic to insects and other organisms. |
