#parasites — Public Fediverse posts

Organismes vermiformes d'une embranchement nommé #Nematomorpha, ils fréquentent les #eauxDouces cosmopolites (les points d'eau des grottes, les flaques, les étangs, les lacs, les cours d'eau de toutes tailles, mais aussi domestiques comme les piscines, les cuvettes de toilettes, les abreuvoirs pour bovins et les gamelles d'animaux de compagnie 🤪 ).

Capitalism’s defenders like to boast that it rewards talent. What capitalism actually rewards is saleability, compliance, stamina, inheritance, and the ability to endure long periods of spiritual self-betrayal without becoming visibly troublesome.

Insomnia

Being an uber geek I still sometimes wake up in the middle of the night wondering about major issues like “Do earthworms have parasites?”

le retard de prise en charge médicale à cause du bullshit New age, c'est ce qui fait que ce mois ci mon père a un œil aveugle sans aucune chance de guérison alors que ça aurait pu être évité à son âge.

inpectez vos vieux qui sont empêtré dans du #bullshit de pseudo science, mais n'espérez pas faire de miracle.

#bullshit

un moyen ou deux de se prémunir de ça ce serait de lire ou écouter ce que publie l'#AFIS et #metadechoc, ou #conspiracywatch, mais des fois on ne peut juste rien faire.

We also confirmed the observation made by the Wheelers back in the '60s that Manica parasitica is really "shaky". Maybe this is an "adaptive manipulation" by the parasite?

1/2 We (re)rediscovered Manica parasitica in the Sierra Nevada. Originally, this ant species was thought to be a free-loading parasite that uses the nests and brood care of its host Manica bradleyi for its own survival.

Instead, "Manica parasitica" is tapeworm-infested Manica bradleyi.

Ant biologists thought the small, strangely-shaped Manica parasitica from the Sierra Nevada was a social parasite of another ant species, but the truth is even stranger.

#GreatBustards seek out two species of weeds that are also used by humans in #TraditionalMedicine. Both contain antiprotozoal and nematicidal (ie, worm-killing) compounds, while the second also contains antifungal agents.

“Every time we see these new genera we described growing on the #fungus, the fungus looks pretty beaten up, really consumed... In some cases, it castrates #Ophiocordyceps first, so it cannot shoot the #spores anymore, and then it grows and then consumes the whole fungus.”
