LARVAL STAGES OF TREMATODES IN FRESHWATER SNAILS OF THE CHORNOBYL ZONE OF RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION
In 1986, at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Exclusion Zone after an industrial accident, ecosystems began to have several features that distinguish them from the objects of the natural reserve fund. Parasitic systems are an informative indicator

Clonal diversity driven by parasitism in a freshwater snail [PDF]
AbstractOne explanation for the widespread abundance of sexual reproduction is the advantage that genetically diverse sexual lineages have under strong pressure from virulent coevolving parasites. Such parasites are believed to track common asexual host genotypes, resulting in negative frequency‐dependent selection that counterbalances the population ...

Exposure to parasites increases promiscuity in a freshwater snail [PDF]
Under the Red Queen hypothesis, outcrossing can produce genetically variable progeny, which may be more resistant, on average, to locally adapted parasites. Mating with multiple partners may enhance this resistance by further increasing the genetic variation among offspring.
