Apparent kleptoparasitism in fish—parasitic gnathiid isopods
Parasitology Research, 2018Gnathiid isopods are common external parasites/micropredators that feed on the blood of marine fishes. During the course of processing samples of gnathiid isopods collected from light traps in the central Philippines, we observed a gnathiid attached to and apparently feeding from the abdomen of another gnathiid.

The energetic cost of parasitism in isopods
Écoscience, 2010Abstract: Assessment of the energetic costs of parasitism is central to understanding the role of parasites in their hosts' foodwebs, but few studies have directly measured these costs. This study demonstrates that infection with the acanthocephalan parasite Acanthocephalus tehlequahensis causes a significant and direct energetic cost to its freshwater

Collecting Marine Gnathiid Isopod Fish Parasites with Light Traps
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2023A method to collect marine gnathiid isopod fish parasites with the use of light traps is presented. Gnathiid isopods are a major group of marine fish parasites that feed on blood and fluid from host fishes, mostly at night. Like ticks and mosquitos on land, they associate only temporarily with their host and spend most of their life free-living in the ...

Parasitism does not reduce thermal limits in the intermediate host of a bopyrid isopod
Journal of Thermal Biology, 2023Parasitism has strong effects on community dynamics. Given the detrimental effects parasites have on host health, infection or infestation might be expected to reduce upper thermal limits, increasing the vulnerability of host species to future climate change.

Tierarztliche Praxis, 1990
In January '87 a parasitic isopod not previously described was discovered in the mouth of the fish species Cichla ocellatus from the South American river Demini, a tributary of the Rio Aracà. The parasite was classified as Telotha sp. A short description is given.

On two isopod parasites of Indian Euphausiids
Journal of Natural History, 1970Summary Branchiophryxus koehleri Nierstrasz & Brender, a dajid isopod from the euphausiids Stylocheiron carinatum and S. affine, and Heterophryxus appendiculatus G. O. Sars from Euphausia distinguenda are redescribed. This is the first record of the two genera from the Indian Ocean.

Isopod Parasites of South Indian Crustaceans
Crustaceana, 1966[Vier Arten bopyrider Isopoden werden beschrieben. Von diesen vier Arten ist Hypophryxus leptochelae neu fur die Wissenschaft. Die sogenannten "triramous" (dreiastigen) Pleopoden von Diplophryxus und Stegoalpheon werden kurz diskutiert. Der Autor vertritt die Ansicht, das der dorsale Ramus der dreiastigen Pleopoden in Wirklichkeit die laterale Platte ...

The Curious Life-Style of the Parasitic Stages of Gnathiid Isopods
2004Isopods of the family Gnathiidae have free-living adults and parasitic juveniles feeding on the blood and tissue fluids of teleost and elasmobranch fishes. When not feeding on fishes, gnathiids are cryptic and widely distributed, especially among marine habitats.

Fish-Parasitic Gnathiid Isopods Metamorphose Following Invertebrate-Derived Meal
Journal of Parasitology, 2019Organisms with a parasitic lifestyle comprise a high proportion of biodiversity in aquatic and terrestrial environments. However, there is considerable variation in the ways in which they acquire nutrients. Hematophagy is a common consumption strategy utilized by some terrestrial, aquatic, and marine organisms whereby the parasite removes and digests ...

Metabolic responses of shrimp Palaemonetes sinensis to isopod Tachaea chinensis parasitization
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2020Tachaea chinensis, a parasitic isopod, negatively affects the production of several commercially important shrimp species in China. The mechanism of parasite-host interaction cannot be accurately described by transcriptomic and proteomic approaches individually.
