| Research Abstract |
Species are disappearing from the Earth at an amazing rate, although each species may serve unrecognized functions in the ecosystem, and then, a lot of conservation projects (both ex and in situ) of such rare and/or endangered species are performed all over the world. But, among them, some projects are stuck because of outbreak of nematodiasis under captive condition. Hence, I am investigating not only captive but also wild or free ranging avian and mammalian species that occur within Japanese Islands for their parasitic nematodes. Some alien parasitic nematodes derived from such alien hosts could become highly pathogenetic agents to not only such species but also human and livestock as well, because the parasites potentially could switch their hosts to and having a negative impact on native host-parasite relationships that have evolved as a result of adaptive radiation or co-speciation. I am generalizing the patterns of host-parasite associations, and aberrant host-parasite relationships due to the presence of alien vertebrates and/or nematodes comprise have been recorede within the present research project. And, some potential strategies including monitoring survey for reduction of risk affected by the aberrant relationships were discussed for basalin of future work on conservation medicine.
