Genetic diversity of Contracaecum rudolphii sp. A (Nematoda: Anisakidae) parasitizing the European Shag Phalacrocorax aristotelis desmarestii from the Spanish Mediterranean coast [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 Sibling species of the Contracaecum rudolphii (s.l.) complex are habitual endoparasites of cormorants of the Phalacrocoracidae family, worldwide. In Europe, the two species, C. rudolphii sp. A and C. rudolphii sp. B, have been identified.

Molecular and morphological studies on Contracaecum rudolphii A and C. rudolphii B in great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) from Italy and Israel [PDF]
Parasitology, 2023 The distribution of parasites is shaped by a variety of factors, among which are the migratory movements of their hosts. Israel has a unique position to migratory routes of several bird species leaving Europe to winter in Africa, however, detailed ...

Temperature and salinity as key drivers of eggs hatching success in sibling species of the Contracaecum rudolphii (s.l.) complex from European waters [PDF]
ParasitologyEgg hatching is a critical stage in the life cycle of parasitic nematodes and is strongly influenced by abiotic factors. This study investigates, under in vitro condition, the effects of temperature (5 °C, 10 °C, 20 °C, 30 °C) and salinity (0–70 psu) on ...

Differential survival of 3rd stage larvae of Contracaecum rudolphii type B infecting common bream (Abramis brama) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio) [PDF]
Parasitology Research, 2019 The main fish host reaction to an infection with third stage anisakid nematode larvae is a response in which host immune cells (macrophages, granulocytes, lymphocytes) in affected internal organs initially are attracted to the parasite whereafter ...
