Copepod reaction to odor stimuli influenced by cestode infection [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 1998 The cestode Scktstocephahis solidus uses copepods as first and sticklebacks as second intermediate hosts. For transmission, an infected copepod has to be preyed upon by a stickleback. We used copepods of the species Macrocydops albidus to test whether infected and uninfected copepods differ in their reaction to two kind of simultaneously presented ...

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 457-464, January 2023., 2023 Despite careful management practices, the parasitic infection may be attributed to the narrow enclosure, group housing and environmental contamination. The present finding provides baseline information on the parasitic infection in captive mammals and can be used by zoo managers for the better life of captive animals.
