Seasonal and vertical patterns of egg-laying by the freshwater fish louse Argulus foliaceus (Crustacea: Branchiura) [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2006 Argulus foliaceus is a damaging fish ectoparasite for which new control measures are being developed based on egg-removal. In an attempt to develop further understanding of seasonal and vertical egg-laying patterns in this parasite, egg-laying activity was monitored over the period 14 April to 17 November 2003 in 2 rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss ...

Sea lice infestation level alters salmon swimming depth in sea-cages
Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2016 Host-parasite systems are often characterised by a co-evolutionary arms race, with avoidance behaviour being the first line of defence for hosts. In aquatic ecosystems, the rapid rise of fish farming has elevated host abundance, altering the context of ...

Data incongruence and the problem of avian louse phylogeny [PDF]
, 2004 Recent studies based on different types of data (i.e. morphological and molecular) have supported conflicting phylogenies for the genera of avian feather lice (Ischnocera: Phthiraptera).

Comparative tests of ectoparasite species richness in seabirds [PDF]
, 2007 Background: The diversity of parasites attacking a host varies substantially among different host species. Understanding the factors that explain these patterns of parasite diversity is critical to identifying the ecological principles underlying ...

The First Record of Argulus Foliacesus (Crustacea: Branchiura) Infestation on Lionhead Goldfish (Carassius Auratus) in Iran [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2010 Argulus foliaceus (Crustacea: Branchiura), or the fish louse, is an ectoparasite of the skin or gill of the fresh water fish species. Clinical signs in infected fish include scratching on aquarium walls, erratic swimming, and poor growth.

Vaccines, 2022 Due to the reduced efficacy of delousing drugs used for sea lice control in salmon aquaculture, fish vaccines have emerged as one of the most sustainable strategies in animal health. Herein, the availability of C. rogercresseyi and Salmo salar genomes increases the capability of identifying new candidate antigens for lice vaccines using RNA sequencing ...
