Integrative taxonomic approach to the cryptic diversity of Diplostomum spp. in lymnaeid snails from Europe with a focus on the ‘Diplostomum mergi’ species complex [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2015 Background Recent molecular studies have discovered substantial unrecognised diversity within the genus Diplostomum in fish populations in Europe and North America including three species complexes.

Natural occurrence of Diplostomum spp. in farm-raised African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) from Oyo state, Nigeria [PDF]
International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, 2016 Diplostomum species are the parasites responsible for diplostomiasis in fish which may cause blindness, eyefluke, severe ocular disease, opacity of the lens and many other affections. The parasites use many organisms including fish as a host.

Enigmatic decline of a common fish parasite (Diplostomum spp.) in the St. Lawrence River: Evidence for a dilution effect induced by the invasive round goby [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2017 As they integrate into recipient food webs, invasive exotic species may influence the population dynamics of native parasites. Here we assess the potential impact of the Eurasian round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) on the abundance of eyeflukes of the ...

Molecular and morphological evidence for three species of Diplostomum (Digenea: Diplostomidae), parasites of fishes and fish-eating birds in Spain [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2014 Background Recent molecular studies have revealed high species diversity of Diplostomum in central and northern Europe. However, our knowledge of the distribution of Diplostomum spp.

Seasonality of salmonid parasites from flow‐through aquaculture in northern Germany: Emphasis on pathogenicity of Diplostomum spp. metacercaria [PDF]
Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, 2022 The aim of the present study was to identify the parasite fauna of cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) and Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus (L.)) from a flow‐through aquaculture system at Lake Tollense in northern Germany. The fish

First data on parasites of the invasive brown bullhead Ameiurus nebulosus (Siluriformes: Ictaluridae) in Ukraine [PDF]
Helminthologia, 2023 This study describes the parasite community of non-native brown bullhead, Ameiurus nebulosus (Actinopterygii: Ictaluridae), collected at three sites in the river Vistula Basin (Lake Svitiaz, Lake Pisochne, and Lake on Plastova) and one site in the river ...

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022 Fish rely upon vision as a dominant sensory system for foraging, predator avoidance, and mate selection. Damage to the visual system, in particular to the neural retina of the eye, has been demonstrated to result in a regenerative response in captive fish that serve as model organisms (e.g.
