Manipulation of fish host by eye flukes in relation to cataract formation and parasite infectivity
Animal Behaviour, 2005Trophically transmitted parasites may predispose infected hosts to predation by altering host behaviour, which can be either an adaptation of the parasites to enhance transmission to the next hosts in the life cycle or a nonadaptive side-effect of infection.

Infectivity of trematode eye flukes in farmed salmonid fish — Effects of parasite and host origins
Aquaculture, 2009Abstract Parasites cause significant economic losses in fish farming, and knowledge of the mechanisms underlying their effects on hosts is an essential prerequisite of preventative procedures for the parasite problem in hatcheries. One such mechanism is local adaptation of parasites, which should lead to higher infectivity of parasites in sympatric ...

Parasitic infections of the eye
Pathology, 2014Parasitic infections of the eye are uncommon in the developed world. Any part of the eye and its appendages may be involved. Medical professionals should be aware of these infections in the right clinical context and particularly in migrants, refugees, immunocompromised individuals and people in contact with animals. Unclean contact lenses make the eye

Within‐Host “Infraecology”: Asymmetric Interactions Between Two Co‐infecting Eye Parasites
Integrative ZoologyABSTRACT Parasites within the host body can occupy similar ecological niches and, therefore, compete for resources. Similarly to macroecological environments, within‐host habitats often provide unequal access to resources for different parasitic species. Parasites that live closer to the source of nutrients likely

A PARASITE FOR SORE EYES: REREADING INFECTION METAPHORS IN BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA
Victorian Literature and Culture, 2016Since the late 1980s and Elaine Showalter's influential Sexual Anarchy, it has become axiomatic to read Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula as a text that responds to anxieties of degeneration through metaphors of infection (184). Given the obvious sexual nature of the threat represented by the vampire, critics have focused on syphilis as the text's most ...

The role of parasitic infection in the aetiology of phlyctenular eye disease.
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 1992Stool and urine analysis of 150 cases of phlyctenular eye disease, revealed that 115 (76.67%) were positive for intestinal parasites. The most prevalent parasites were Hymenolepis nana (49.56%) followed by Ascaris lumbricoides (27.82%). Eosinophilia (5-10%) was detected in 90 phlycten cases (60%), 80 of them (88.8%) had parasitic infection.
