You could google it.\ngo to google and in the search bar type in:\n\nDiplodicus death: Cause\n\njust as it looks. Try other ways as well:\n\nCause of: Diploducus Death\n\nand you'll be surprised how many pages you get on that. However, the first page has the most rellavent searches, I suggest not bottering going to the other pages.

There are indeed parasites that can invade the brain, there is another one called the loa loa worm that is called the eye worm. I have a book with a picture of a work being pulled right out of this guys eye. Anyway is will blind you. And for the parasites in the brain, if someone did get this it is fatal. The good news is you have to go to some really third world countries to get these things.

Note correct spelling.\n\nAscaris is a genus of parasitic nematodes. One species, A. suum, typically infects pigs, taking up residence in the lower intestine, while another, A. lumbricoides, affects human populations, typically in tropical areas with poor sanitation. This infection is known as ascariasis. It is spread by the accidental ingestion of Ascaris eggs, which are produced in the lower intestine and distributed through feces.\n\nSimple answer:roundworm\n\nFollow the link for more information.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascariasis

I think if they would get a similar treatment than the famous rhinogradentia (also known as snouters; look them up on google) their plight would become much more well known, and that would be the first step to preserving them. So write a book about them, or a well designed webpage would be even more effective.

Those are all parasites, so maybe they're all common parasites in canines...\n\nI'm sorry I don't have a source, but I do know that they're all parasites.

The three species of Lagidium (Lagidium peruanum, L. viscacia, and L. wolffsohni) share a number of cranial features which classify the Family Chinchillidae:  They are hystricognathous (the angular process where the masseter arises is lateral to the plane of the rest of the jaw), and strongly hystricomorphous (in which the infraorbital foramen is enlarged for attachment of the medial masseter muscle).  The mandibles have no masseteric crest, the lacrimals are large and the lacrimal canal opens on the side of the rostrum.  The auditory bullae are enlarged.  The teeth have a pattern of 1/1, 0/0, 1/1, 3/3 = 20) and are hypodont and rootless.  Their molars have two or three closely packed lamellar plates.\n\nSome workers have suggested that the large genetic distances (between 5.9% and 8.9%) between the described species may mean that there are more than the three species of Lagidium that are currently recognized.  Other authors include L. peruanum within L. viscacia, meaning only two species in the Genus.\n\nIf you are looking for the specific characters used to distinguish the different species, I would recommend checking out the following references:\n\nWoods, C. 1993.  Suborder Hystricognathi. Pp. 771-806 in Mammal species of the world: a taxonomic and geographic reference (D.E. Wilson and D.M. Reeder, eds.). Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington, D.C.\n\nAnderson, S. 1997.  Mammals of Bolivia, taxonomy and distribution.  Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 231:1-652.

For all your aye-aye needs, try google.com.  Here are a few sites that I came across I googled it: \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aye-aye\nhttp://www.animalinfo.org/species/primate/daubmada.htm\nhttp://news.mongabay.com/2005/0417d-rhett_butler.html\n\nYou should be able to find answers to all of your questions there.  Wikipedia is especially helpful because it offers a table of contents with links to each section.

I think it may help to clarify what the other 2 posters have said, as they have 'clouded' the issue a bit:\n\nThey lack external ears, have a diapsid skull (two openings on either side), and posess a "parietal eye" on the top of their head. Other lizards also have this "third-eye," which contains a retina and is functionally similar to a normal eye, though the function has not been clearly recognized and a scale grows over it in adult tuataras.\n\nAs it contains an actual retna, it can infact see.  But, to what extent, who knows.

Can you give us any information?  Where did you see the name?
