Unravelling another mystery: Parasite escape and host‐switching vary spatially in non‐indigenous populations of Japanese mystery snails

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 8, Page 1316-1332, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Due to anthropogenic mechanisms, global freshwater biodiversity is declining, and non‐indigenous species are consistently cited as a major threat to native ecosystems. In particular, exotic freshwater gastropods and their parasites have invaded ecosystems through deliberate introductions and/or accidental transfer.

Cepaea spp. as a source of Brachylaima mesostoma (Digenea: Brachylaimidae) and Brachylecithum sp. (Digenea: Dicrocoeliidae) larvae in Poland [PDF]

open access: yesParasitology Research, 2019
AbstractParasite diagnostics were carried out on 11 Polish populations ofCepaeaspp. In three of them, coming from the roadside ditches of a village (Rytel, northern Poland), very high (up to 60%) prevalence ofBrachylaima mesostomawas observed. This study provides the first molecular evidence of the presence ofB. mesostomainsideCepaeaspp. in Europe.

Parasites in kelp‐forest food webs increase food‐chain length, complexity, and specialization, but reduce connectance

open access: yesEcological Monographs, Volume 92, Issue 2, May 2022., 2022
Abstract We explored whether parasites are important in kelp forests by examining their effects on a high‐quality, high‐resolution kelp‐forest food web. After controlling for generic effects of network size, parasites affected kelp‐forest food web structure in some ways consistent with other systems.

No Tail No Fail: Life Cycles of the Zoogonidae (Digenea)

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
The Zoogonidae is the only digenean family where known cercariae lack the tail but actively search for the second intermediate host. However, the data on the zoogonid life cycles are scarce. In the present study, we elucidated and verified life cycles of the Zoogonidae from the White Sea.

Characterization of Clinostomum (Digenea: Clinostomidae) spp. in India

open access: yesParasitology Research, 2022
Abstract Platyhelminths belonging to the family Clinostomidae (Digenea) have a worldwide distribution and are known to infect piscivorous birds through their intermediate hosts, usually fish species. In the present study, clinostome metacercariae were collected from fish hosts, including Channa punctata (Bloch 1793) (n = 25) and Trichogaster fasciata ...
