Parasite-mediated host behavioural modifications: Gyrodactylus turnbulli infected Trinidadian guppies increase contact rates with uninfected conspecifics [PDF]
While group formation provides antipredatory defences, increases foraging efficiency and mating opportunities, it can be counterintuitive by promoting disease transmission amongst social hosts.

Monogeneans are ectoparasites that in high densities, can cause harm and even death to their hosts. Therefore, treatment methods are continuously evaluated. The current study aims to determine the LC50 of ionic silver and silver‐engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) (nAg) in the monogenean Macrogyrodactylus congolensis and report on the toxicological effects
