First record of Argulus japonicus infestation on Cyprinus carpio in Hungary, and the first description of Argulus japonicus europaeus subsp. nov. Keve, 2025 [PDF]

Parasites and Vectors
Background Species belonging to the genus Argulus are globally distributed fish parasites. Their veterinary significance primarily lies in their disruptive presence and their role as mechanical vectors. Although Argulus japonicus Thiele, 1900 is a widely

Dietary Shifts Among the Developmental Stages of the Ectoparasite, Argulus japonicus (Crustacea; Branchiura), Mirror Ontogeny as Shown Through Differences in Stable Isotope Ratios of Carbon (δ¹³C) and Nitrogen (δ¹⁵N). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Stable isotope fractionation serves as a fingerprint of nutrients assimilated by organisms. This study aimed to compare fractionation patterns of stable isotope ratios of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) among various life stages of A. japonicus infecting goldfish hosts (Carassius auratus).

Identification of proteins from the secretory/excretory products (SEPs) of the branchiuran ectoparasite Argulus foliaceus (Linnaeus, 1758) reveals unique secreted proteins amongst haematophagous ecdysozoa [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background It is hypothesised that being a blood-feeding ectoparasite, Argulus foliaceus (Linnaeus, 1758), uses similar mechanisms for digestion and host immune evasion to those used by other haematophagous ecdysozoa, including caligid copepods (e.g. sea
