Impact of a mouth parasite in a marine fish differs between geographical areas [PDF]
Considerable variation exists in parasite virulence and host tolerance which may have a genetic and/or environmental basis. In this article, we study the effects of a striking, mouth-dwelling, blood-feeding isopod parasite (Ceratothoa italica) on the ...
