First specimen-based record of Argulus japonicus (Branchiura: Argulidae), an ectoparasite of freshwater fishes, from Okayama Prefecture, western Japan [PDF]
An argulid branchiran is known to infect carp Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758 farmed in Okayama Prefecture, western Japan, but no species identification has been made to date. A male of Argulus japonicus Thiele, 1900 was collected from the body surface of

Abstract The aim of the present study was to identify the parasite fauna of cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) and Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus (L.)) from a flow‐through aquaculture system at Lake Tollense in northern Germany. The fish were sampled during different seasons in 2018 from an open freshwater raceway. For rainbow

Host specificity ofArgulus coregoni(Crustacea: Branchiura) increases at maturation
SUMMARYWe tested the hypothesis that host specificity in ectoparasites does not depend exclusively on the features of the host but also on surrounding habitats, using 2 fish ectoparasites,Argulus coregoniandA. foliaceus(Crustacea: Branchiura), occurring sympatrically in Finnish lakes. Although these parasites are considered to be of low specificity, we

The three lips, Opsariichthys uncirostris uncirostris (Cyprinidae), a new host of Argulus japonicus (Branchiura: Argulidae), with its first host record from Lake Biwa, Japan [PDF]
Lake Biwa is the largest and ancient lake in Japan. The parasite fauna of aquatic animals of the lake has been extensively studied, but little information is available on the biology of fish-parasitic branchiurans.

Factors determining parasite abundance in European perch, Perca fluviatilis, European whitefish, Coregonus lavaretus, and Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus, in an oligotrophic lake, southern Norway [PDF]
Temporal and spatial variations in macroparasite status were investigated in European perch, Perca fluviatilis, European whitefish, Coregonus lavaretus, and Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus in Lake Norsjø (Southern Norway), based on gillnet fishing in ...

Allee Effects May Slow the Spread of Parasites in a Coastal Marine Ecosystem [PDF]
Allee effects are thought to mediate the dynamics of population colonization, particularly for invasive species. However, Allee effects acting on parasites have rarely been considered in the analogous process of infectious disease establishment and ...
