The Effects of Hybridization and Parasite Infection on the Survival and Behaviour of Endangered Landlocked Salmon Subject to Predation-Implications for Genetic Rescue. [PDF]
ABSTRACT A prerequisite of genetic rescue in endangered and genetically depauperate populations is to pre‐evaluate between possible pros and cons of hybridization for the life history and survival of the target population. We hybridized the critically endangered Saimaa landlocked salmon (Salmo salar m.

Scientists' Warning on the Rapid Evolution of Parasites in the Anthropocene. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Human activities are changing the natural world at an accelerating pace, and as a consequence exerting novel and often strong selection pressures on living organisms. For species with traits conferring huge inherent evolutionary potential, like parasites, the outcome may be rapid adaptive responses spanning multiple phenotypic traits. The rise

Abstract Coastal lagoons are key ‘transitional’ aquatic environments for biodiversity conservation. Ecological indicators are useful tools for the management of water resources in the European Union. Among different biological communities, fish are a very sensitive tool to assess environmental integrity.

Ecological, Molecular, Histopathological and Public Health Implications of Zoonotic Metacercariae Clinostomum complanatum (Rudolphi, 1814) in the Endemic Anatolian Fish, Alburnus escherichii. [PDF]
• Clinostomum complanatum metacercariae, which has been reported in 23 fish species worldwide and 12 in Türkiye to date, continues to infect local and endemic fish species and will persist in the future. • Considering that Alburnus escherichii and other fish species in which this parasite has been recorded in Türkiye are used in traditional local ...

Ligula intestinalis (Cestoda: Pseudophyllidea): an ideal fish-metazoan parasite model? [PDF]
Since its use as a model to study metazoan parasite culture and in vitro development, the plerocercoid of the tapeworm, Ligula intestinalis, has served as a useful scientific tool to study a range of biological factors, particularly within its fish ...

Acanthocephalan parasite communities in northern European landlocked seal populations are impoverished with respect to both species and intraspecific genetic diversity. Interestingly, the loss of genetic diversity within Corynosoma species seems to have been less drastic than in their seal hosts, possibly due to their large local effective population ...

Praziquantel (Droncit) is effective against diplostomosis of grasscarp Ctenopharyngodon idella and silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix [PDF]
In laboratory experiments praziquantel (Droncit) effectively destroyed metacercariae of Diplostomum spathaceum (s. l.) parasitizing the eye lens of grasscarp Ctenopharyngodon idella and silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix.

Diplostomum spathaceum and related species.
This book chapter describes various aspects of diplostomiasis caused by Diplostomum spathaceum: diagnosis, epidemiology, life cycle, transmission, developmental stages, population dynamics, effects of climate change on parasite distribution, and disease control and prevention.

Comparative transcriptomics of stickleback immune gene responses upon infection by two helminth parasites, Diplostomum pseudospathaceum and Schistocephalus solidus [PDF]
Immune systems of vertebrates are much more diverse than previously thought, in particular at the base of the vertebrate clade. RNA-seq was used to describe in detail the transcriptomic response of stickleback hosts to infection by two helminth parasites,
