The Cercariae of Natal

open access: yesThe Journal of Parasitology, 1917
During the months of April, May, June, and July of 1916, I examined 1,500 molluscs from the rivers and fresh-water pools of Natal. They included several species. Limnaea natalensis is a common form with a dextral shell. Physopsis africana, a common mollusc amongst decomposing vegetation, has a blunt-pointed sinistral shell with a truncate columella ...

The effects of seasonality and parasitism on diet and habitat selection in the common periwinkle

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
The common periwinkle Littorina littorea is an ecologically important grazer, known for its strong influence on algal communities and its role in structuring ecosystems. It serves as the first intermediate host for several trematode species in the Baltic Sea, especially for the fluke Cryptocotyle lingua.

Trematode infection buffers heat stress in blue mussels Mytilus edulis: The role of heat shock proteins

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 648-657, April 2026.
The study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence
