Endohelminth fauna of teleost fishes from coasts of Şile region of the Black sea
A total of 508 fish specimens belonging to 19 species collected in the coast of Şile region of the Black sea were examined to detect the presence of endohelminths. Of this, 357 (70.27%) were found to be infected with parasites.

Checklist of digeneans (Platyhelminthes, Trematoda, Digenea) of Georgia
In the present study, we aim to provide an inventory of digenetic trematodes (Platyhelminthes, Trematoda, Digenea) from Georgia including possibly all records available from the freshwater, marine and terrestrial realms. The checklist is based on a critical review of data from 109 papers, 11 monographs and four Ph.D.

Competent Non‐Native Alternative Host Reduces Infection Success in a Generalist Parasite
In this study, we experimentally assessed how the addition of a non‐native alternative host affects the infection success of the larval generalist trematode, Diplostomum pseudospathaceum, in fish intermediate hosts. Our results demonstrate that the presence of alternative hosts, especially the non‐native ones, can reduce parasite transmission through ...

Acanthocollaritrema umbilicatum Travassos, Freitas & Bührnheim, 1965 (Digenea: Acanthocollaritrematidae) from the Common Snook, Centropomus undecimalis, from Itamaracá, State of Pernambuco, Brazil [PDF]
Acanthocollaritrema umbilicatum Travassos, Freitas and Bührnheim, 1965, is the only species of Acanthocollaritrematidae described up to the moment. The systematic position of this species and the validity of the family has been questioned by the possible

Marine Parasite Biogeography Mirrors Host Patterns Across Latitude, Area, and Diversity
Parasites are integral components of biodiversity, yet they remain poorly represented in large‐scale biogeographic theory. In this study, we test whether marine parasites follow three macroecological patterns established for free‐living taxa, namely that parasite species richness: (1) scales positively with area (both host body size and geographic area)

1. The rediae of P. acanthus and C. lingua and their gastropod hosts T. lapillus and L. littorea, contained substantial amounts of "free" carbohydrate and polysaccharide. The free fraction consisted of glucose and at least one other sugar probably trehalose.2. Rediae and host heptopancreas tissues absorbed exogenous glucose and incorporated significant

Fucoidan: An Update on Function, Role in Human Health and Applications
Fucoidan is a promising bioactive compound with anti‐inflammatory, anticoagulant, anticancer, antioxidant, antiviral, and cardioprotective properties. In addition, thanks to its epigenetic potential, ability to modulate autophagic mechanisms and possibility adjuvant agent or bioactive component of the drug delivery systems, fucoidan is a promising ...
