V březnu 2012 podepsala Akademie věd ČR novou dohodu s mexickou Národní radou pro vědu a technologie (Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Technología - CONACYT) společně s prováděcím plánem, na jehož základě se začalo realizovat pět vědeckovýzkumných projektů vědců AV ČR s jejich mexickými kolegy - podrobněji viz AB 4/2012. Jelikož šlo o dvouleté projekty a spolupráce skončila s koncem roku 2013, můžeme zhodnotit jejich výsledky. and Danuše Pazourková ... [et al.].
Current data on reproductive biology and population dynamics of the acanthocephalans are scarce mainly in regions from the tropical Pacific. An analysis was done to identify possible factors that influence variation in infection levels of the acanthocephalan Pseudoleptorhynchoides lamothei Salgado-Maldonado, 1976 in its final host, the blue sea catfish Ariopsis guatemalensis (Günther, 1864), and describe its main reproductive traits. A total of 1,094 A. guatemalensis were collected from Tres Palos Lagoon from August 2014 to December 2015. Prevalence of P. lamothei varied from 1.47% to 38.33%, and mean abundance from 0.03 to 4.44 helminths per examined host. In female P. lamothei relative fecundity increased with total length. Temporal variations in P. lamothei infection levels were attributed mainly to changes in host feeding and reproductive behaviour in response to local environmental factors as climatic season, and variations in water temperature., Dolores I.
