Lutermann, Heike; Medger, Katarina; Horak, Ivan Gerard (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-09)Ticks are important vectors of pathogens of medical and veterinary importance worldwide. Despite their economic importance our current knowledge about the factors affecting tick prevalence and abundance in tropical and ...

Voigt, Cornelia; Gahr, Manfred; Leitner, Stefan; Lutermann, Heike; Bennett, Nigel Charles (BioMed Central, 2014-05-08)INTRODUCTION: The Damaraland mole-rat (Fukomys damarensis) is a eusocial, subterranean mammal, which exhibits an extreme reproductive skew with a single female (queen) monopolizing reproduction in each colony. Non-reproductive ...

Hoffmann, Sasha; Webster, Heather Joy; Teske, Peter R.; Lutermann, Heike; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Jansen van Vuuren, Bettine (Springer, 2017-02)Fourteen microsatellite loci were developed for the eastern rock sengi, Elephantulus myurus Thomas & Schwann, 1906 by incorporating genetic diversity from across its range in South Africa. Sengis are small mammals belonging ...

Lutermann, Heike; Bennett, Nigel Charles (American Society of Parasitologists, 2012-06)The helminth fauna of the largest bathyergid, the Cape molerat (Bathyergus suillus) was studied throughout an entire calendar year. The species richness encountered was low, with only 3 species of nematodes (Longistriata ...

Archer, Elizabeth K.; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Faulkes, Christopher G.; Lutermann, Heike (Springer, 2016-02)Due to the density-dependent nature of parasite transmission parasites are generally assumed to constrain the evolution of sociality. However, evidence for a correlation between group size and parasite burden is equivocal, ...

Archer, Elizabeth K.; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Junker, Kerstin; Faulkes, Christopher G.; Lutermann, Heike (American Society of Parasitologists, 2017)The spread of parasites through a host population is based on the variation in behavior and immune function between individuals and is rarely uniform. We studied the gastrointestinal parasites of common mole-rats (Cryptomys ...

Archer, Elizabeth K.; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Ueckermann, Edward A.; Lutermann, Heike (Allen Press, 2014-02)The members of the African mole-rat family Bathyergidae are widely distributed across sub-Saharan Africa. Despite their well-studied biology and reproductive physiology, the current knowledge of their ectoparasite fauna ...

Lutermann, Heike; Carpenter-Kling, Tegan; Ueckermann, Edward A.; Gutjahr, Gundula; Bennett, Nigel Charles (American Society of Parasitologists, 2015-12)Damaraland mole-rats (Fukomys damarensis) of the family Bathyergidae are widely distributed subterranean rodents in sub-Saharan Africa. No parasites have ever been reported for this species and only 1 ectoparasite is ...

Fagir, Dina M.; Horak, Ivan Gerard; Ueckermann, Edward A.; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Lutermann, Heike (Taylor and Francis and NISC (Pty) Ltd, 2015-04)Globally small mammals are important hosts of ectoparasite vectors of pathogens of medical, veterinary and economic importance. Insectivores are currently understudied as hosts of pathogen vectors. However, data are needed ...

Makhanthisa, Takalani Irene; Braack, L.E.O.; Lutermann, Heike (BMC, 2021-07)BACKGROUND: Malaria control primarily depends on two vector control strategies: indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs). Both IRS and LLIN target indoor-biting mosquitoes. However, ...
-
Lutermann, Heike; Medger, Katarina; Horak, Ivan Gerard (Springer, 2012-02)The distribution of parasites is often characterised by substantial aggregation with a small proportion of hosts harbouring the majority of parasites. This pattern can be generated by abiotic and biotic factors that affect ...

Radespiel, Ute; Lutermann, Heike; Schmelting, Barthel; Zimmermann, Elke (Wiley, 2019-12)The generation time of organisms drives the rate of change in populations and across evolutionary times. In long‐lived species, generation time should also account for overlapping generations, and the average age of parents ...
-
Lutermann, Heike; Medger, Katarina; Junker, Kerstin (American Society of Parasitologists, 2015-12)The endoparasite fauna of the eastern rock sengi (Elephantulus myurus Thomas and Schwann) was studied for the first time for any sengi species from September 2007 until August 2008 in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. ...
-
Lutermann, Heike; Medger, Katarina; Junker, Kerstin (Allen Press, 2014-02)The endoparasite fauna of the spiny mouse (Acomys spinosissimus) was studied for the first time from April 2007 until April 2009 in a population from the Limpopo Province of South Africa. In a total of 129 mice examined, ...

Lutermann, Heike; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Speakman, John R.; Scantlebury, Michael; Sorci, Gabriele (Public Library of Science, 2013-02-25)Sociality and particularly advanced forms of sociality such as cooperative breeding (living in permanent groups with reproductive division of labour) is relatively rare among vertebrates. A suggested constraint on the ...

Hoffmann, Sasha; Horak, Ivan Gerard; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Lutermann, Heike (BioMed Central, 2016)BACKGROUND : Co-infection with multiple parasite species is commonly observed in nature and interspecific interactions are likely to occur in parasite infracommunities. Such interactions may affect the distribution of ...

Lutermann, Heike; Haukisalmi, Voitto; Junker, Kerstin (American Society of Parasitologists, 2018-10)The endoparasite fauna of Ansell's mole-rat, Fukomys anselli (Burda, Zima, Scharff, Macholán and Kawalika) (Rodentia, Bathyergidae), was studied for the first time near Lusaka, Zambia. We recovered 7 endoparasite taxa ...

(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2017-04)The African naked mole-rats’ (Heterocephalus glaber) social and subterranean lifestyle generates a hypoxic niche. Under experimental conditions naked mole-rats tolerate hours of extreme hypoxia and survive 18 minutes of ...
