Prevalence of zoonotic hepatic nematode varies with small mammal community diversity across a heterogenous landscape in Eastern Uganda

2025-09-12

Abstract excerpt

Identifying key drivers of pathogen infection prevalence and intensity in wildlife populations is essential to understand dispersal and transmission of disease. Calodium hepatica (syn. Capillaria hepatica) is a generalist nematode that infects liver parenchyma of mammal species worldwide and is capable of human infections. Parasite prevalence ranges from 0-100% in wildlife, often varying across small geographic ar...
