Fessisentis acutulus (Van Cleave, 1931) comb. n. (Acanthocephala: Fessisentidae) : A parasite of caudate amphibians in North America, with comments on the single North American report of A. ranae (Schrank, 1788)
TLDR
Based on anatomical grounds, specimens in the type series of the acanthocephala n Acanthocephalus acutulus Van Cleave, 1931, from the red-spotted newt, Notophthalmus viridescens, belong to the genus Fessisentis.Abstract:
Based on anatomical grounds, specimens in the type series of the acanthocephala n Acanthocephalus acutulus Van Cleave, 1931, from the red-spotted newt, Notophthalmus viridescens (Rafinesque, 1820), belong to the genus Fessisentis. This conforms with knowledge of the host-parasit e relationships within the genus Fessisentis. The single North American report for A. ranae (Schrank, 1788) clearly is not this species and probabl y is Acanthocephalus dims (Van Cleave, 1931) Van Cleave and Townsend, 1936.read more

Causes and consequences of seasonal dynamics in the parasite community of red-spotted newts ( Notophthalmus viridescens )
TL;DR: Results of field studies describing seasonal patterns for multiple parasitic infections and testing between potential drivers of parasite infection risk using red-spotted newts as a model species suggest that parasites may influence the the newt life history strategy by driving newts onto land during the summer.
