Parasite assemblages in fish hosts
Bio-Research, 2010 A review of various factors affecting parasite assemblages in fish hosts is presented. These factors are broadly divided into two: Biotic and abiotic factors. Biotic factors such as host age and size, host size and parasites size, host specificity, host diet and host sex and their influence on the abundance and distribution of parasites are considered ...

Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2021 Background Helminth infection and infestation in fishes are detrimental and have a major effect on fish health and fish production. Among various factors, parasitic infections are known to modulate antioxidant defences in fish.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Fish skin-associated microbial communities are highly variable among populations and species and can impact host fitness. Still, the sources of variation in microbiome composition, and particularly how they vary among and within host individuals, have ...

Aquaculture Reports, 2020 Host-associated microbiota play important roles in the nutrition, immune system, and health of fish. However, the composition, diversity, and function of microbiota associated with certain niches in fish bodies and fish habitats remain to be elucidated ...

Aggregation patterns of macroendoparasites in phylogenetically related fish hosts [PDF]
Parasitology, 2010 SUMMARYMacroparasites are generally aggregated within their hosts with infection and aggregation levels resulting from a continuous arms race between maintaining high mating probability and host mortality low for which host and environmentally related factors contribute to some extent.

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 ...

Host-Parasite Interactions in Some Fish Species [PDF]
Journal of Parasitology Research, 2012 Host-parasite interactions are complex, compounded by factors that are capable of shifting the balance in either direction. The host's age, behaviour, immunological status, and environmental change can affect the association that is beneficial to the host whereas evasion of the host’s immune response favours the parasite.
