Eustrongylidosis
Eustrongylidosis is a parasitic disease that mainly affects wading birds worldwide; however, the parasite's complex, indirect lifecycle involves other species, such as aquatic worms and fish. Moreover, this disease is zoonotic, which means the parasite can transmit disease from animals to humans. Eustrongylidosis is named after the causative agent ''Eustrongylides'', and typically occurs in eutrophication, eutrophicated waters where concentrations of nutrients and minerals are high enough to provide ideal conditions for the parasite to thrive and persist. Because eutrophication has become a common issue due to agricultural runoff and urban development, cases of eustrongylidosis are becoming prevalent and hard to control. Eustrongylidosis can be diagnosed before or after death by observing behavior and clinical signs, and performing fecal flotations and necropsies. Methods to control it include preventing eutrophication and providing hosts with uninfected food sources in aquaculture f ...

Eustrongylides Excisus
''Eustrongylides'' is a genus of nematodes belonging to the family Dioctophymidae. The species of this genus cause eustrongylidosis.

Dioctophymidae
Dioctophymidae is a family of nematodes belonging to the order Ascaridida.

Axel Leonard Jägerskiöld
Axel Krister Edward Leonard Jägerskiöld (November 12, 1867 – August 4, 1945) was a Finland-born Swedish zoologist. He collected specimens across Scandinavia despite problems in vision and hearing and was a curator at the Gothenburg museum. His early work was on nematodes but later worked on birds and marine biology. Life and work Jägerskiöld was born on Mejlan estate in Finland, Nyland county where his father Gustaf Magnus Leonard (1831–71) was a captain in the Russian navy. After the death of his father, he moved to Stockholm when his mother Johanna Vilhelmina Augusta married her cousin A. H. Ramsay. Baron Gustaf Mannerheim was a distant cousin. He studied at Stockholm and because of poor health, outdoor activities were recommended. He became interested in hunting, sailing and long walks where he was inspired to study nature by his teacher Alexander Skånberg and his cousin professor Christian Loven. He moved to Uppsala with his mother who was widowed again and joined t ...

Nematode
The nematodes ( or ; ; ), roundworms or eelworms constitute the phylum Nematoda. Species in the phylum inhabit a broad range of environments. Most species are free-living, feeding on microorganisms, but many are parasitic. Parasitic worms (helminths) are the cause of soil-transmitted helminthiases. They are classified along with arthropods, tardigrades and other moulting animals in the clade Ecdysozoa. Unlike the flatworms, nematodes have a tubular digestive system, with openings at both ends. Like tardigrades, they have a reduced number of Hox genes, but their sister phylum Nematomorpha has kept the ancestral protostome Hox genotype, which shows that the reduction has occurred within the nematode phylum. Nematode species can be difficult to distinguish from one another. Consequently, estimates of the number of nematode species are uncertain. A 2013 survey of animal biodiversity suggested there are over 25,000. Estimates of the total number of extant species are su ...
