[dinosaur] Parasites in dinosaurs
Good day!
Is there any study about possible dinosaur parasites? There surely is not much to know about it, but still - blood parasites were found in a titanosaur sauropod bone, lessions on "Sue" and other tyrannosaurid jaws might be come from a parasite infection, there were blood-sucking ticks found in burmese amber etc. I wonder, if already during the Jurassic and Cretaceous there were nasty internal flesh-eating parasites like mangoworms and cuterebra? Thank you for your thoughts! Tom
