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]
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

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]
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).

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

Exploring the Parasite Biodiversity in Climbing Perch (<i>Anabas testudineus</i>) in Buriram, Thailand: Morphological-Based Characterization. [PDF]
Anabas testudineus is an amphibious freshwater fish species native to Thailand, which is afflicted by protozoan and metazoan infections. This study was aimed at identifying the presence of parasites in A. testudineus from Thung Lam Natural Reservoir in Buriram Province, Thailand, between November 2022 and January 2023.

Behavioural adaptations of argulid parasites (Crustacea: Branchiura) to major challenges in their life cycle [PDF]
Fish lice (Argulus spp.) are obligate ectoparasites, which contrary to most aquatic parasites, retain the ability to swim freely throughout the whole of their life.
