Parasitic Infections of Freshwater Fish in Kenya: Prevalence Patterns, Ecological Drivers, and Implications for Aquaculture Sustainability. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res
Fish parasitic infections present a growing threat to freshwater aquaculture in Kenya, affecting fish health, reducing productivity, and limiting the economic potential of small‐scale and commercial farms. This review provides the first consolidated national checklist of freshwater fish parasites in Kenya, synthesizing evidence from lakes, rivers, and ...

Peritrichs (Ciliophora, Peritrichia) in the Danube: Keystone Organisms in the Formation of Diverse Protist Biofilms. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Colonial peritrichs act as physical ecosystem engineers in middle Danube biofilms, generating three‐dimensional structures during 1–28 days of colonisation. Their surfaces host filter feeder epibionts (choanoflagellates, other peritrichs, rotifers), expanding filtration capacity and promoting functional group establishment including swimming and ...

Histopathology and Phylogeny of the Dinoflagellate Hematodinium perezi and the Epibiotic Peritrich Ciliate Epistylis sp. Infecting the Blue Crab Callinectes sapidus in the Eastern Mediterranean. [PDF]

Microorganisms
Bioinvasions constitute both a direct and an indirect threat to ecosystems. Direct threats include pressures on local trophic chains, while indirect threats might take the form of an invasion of a microorganism alongside its host.

Report of rotifer-ciliate-gastropod hyperepibiosis found on snail (Mollusca) from Goa, India

Acta Biologica, 2021
Here we report a rotifer-ciliate-gastropod hyperepibiosis in freshwater canal, Goa, India. A rotifer Philodina cf. megalotrocha Ehrenberg, 1832 was found attached on the colony of Epistylis plicatilis Ehrenberg, 1838 which was epibiont on gastropod ...

The prevalence and intensity of ectoparasites that infects tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in floating net cages

Depik Jurnal, 2022
Ectoparasites which often attack tilapia include Trichodina sp., Dactylogyrus spp., Gyrodactylus spp., and Epistylis spp. This research aims to determine the types, prevalence, and intensity of ectoparasites found on tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in ...

From Mud to Meat: Comparative Metabarcoding Reveals Two Different Evolutionary Paths to Carnivory in a Group of Meiofaunal Annelids. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Evolutionary transitions to carnivory represent profound shifts in feeding mode that are often accompanied by widespread changes in organismal function, behaviour and ecology. Such transitions have evolved numerous times among animals, and predator–prey interactions have been major drivers of animal evolution.
