The most interesting part about this parasite is that there is evidence that it once infected Tyrannosaurus rex species and is still present today in birds. It’s also interesting how the symptoms found in the avians is very similar to what was found on T. rex fossils!

There's a trove of very good parasitological work from Russia, but unfortunately most of it are unaccessible to anyone who doesn't know how to read Russian, so these days those texts tend to become lost and forgotten...Tommy Leunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421993204602775597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094038346173044955.post-54466183815490824732010-11-23T11:18:57.452-05:002010-11-23T11:18:57.452-05:00Grunin, K.Y. 1973.

We were wondering "Hey, those mammoths are frozen, we've managed to retrieve parasites from frozen carcasses, why not those mammoths?"<br /><br />Is there a reference for those stomach bots? They sound interesting.Tommy Leunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421993204602775597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094038346173044955.post-7708442356639659642010-11-22T11:00:52.753-05:002010-11-22T11:00:52.753-05:00I have always wondered if anyone has ever gone thr...I have always wondered if anyone has ever gone through any of the frozen mammoths that have been found intact for nematodes. I believe there are a couple of species of stomach bots described from mammoths. Those bots, like the mammoths, are also extinct.Mike Kinsellanoreply@blogger.com
