Examining the role of parasites in limiting unidirectional gene flow between lake and river sticklebacks [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 88, Issue 12, Page 1986-1997, December 2019., 2019 Parasites are important selective agents with the potential to limit gene flow between host populations by shaping local host immunocompetence. We report on a contact zone between lake and river three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) that ...

Do algae blooms dilute the risk of trematode infections in threespine sticklebacks? [PDF]
Curr Zool, 2015 Human-induced growth of macro-algae is often assumed to increase trematode infections in fishes by increasing the abundance and condition of the parasite’s intermediate host – snails – as this can boost the release of trematode larvae, cercariae, from ...

Increased ventilation by fish leads to a higher risk of parasitism [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2014 Background Fish are common intermediate hosts of trematode cercariae and their gills can potentially serve as important sites of penetration by these larval stages.

Parasite spillover rather than niche expansion explains infection of host brain by diplostomid eye flukes. [PDF]
Proc Biol SciParasites often occupy specific sites within their host, which has important implications for host performance and parasite transmission. Nonetheless, parasitic infections can occur beyond their typical location within a host, significantly altering host-

Katepsiny L cerkárií Diplostomum pseudospathaceum [PDF]
, 2015 Táto štúdia sa zaoberá cysteínovými peptidázami cerkárií motolice Diplostomum pseudospataceum. Naväzuje na doterajší výskum, ktorý u cerkárií biochemicky a hmotnostnou spektrometriou potvrdil prítomnosť cysteínovej peptidázy o veľkosti približne 24 kDa a

Eye fluke effects on Danish freshwater fish: Field and experimental investigations. [PDF]
J Fish Dis, 2021 Abstract Eye flukes in fish are common in freshwater lakes. Fish become infected by the penetration of cercariae released from freshwater snails, and high infection pressures may be associated with mortalities in a Danish lake. Examination of two other freshwater lakes, combined with laboratory study, supported the notion. We investigated 77 freshwater

Interactions between two parasites of brown trout (Salmo trutta): Consequences of preinfection. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2018 Freshwater pearl mussels's parasitic stage (glochidia) is usually considered to be not very harmful to their host, brown trout. However, even a small damage to fish gills caused by this parasite can make its host more vulnerable to subsequent infections.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 15, Page 4447-4460, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a challenge for treatment of bacterial diseases. In real life, bacterial infections are typically embedded within complex multispecies communities and influenced by the environment, which can shape costs and benefits of AMR.

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 627-641, May 2022., 2022 In this study, we develop an optimized eDNA‐based metabarcoding tool to detect and characterize the trematode communities from environmental and, more specifically water‐sediment interface samples. The efficiency of this new tool is first assessed by an exhaustive in‐silico and in‐vitro validation step and compare to a classical trematode monitoring ...
