Spatial variation in the parasitic isopod load of the Japanese halfbeak in western Japan [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2016 Cymothoid isopods (family Cymothoidae) are commonly found parasitizing diverse fishes, including commercial species. However, the effects of these parasites on host body condition are still poorly known. Here we investigated the spatial variation of the effects of parasite infection on host body condition, using the parasitic load of the cymothoid ...

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019 Parasitic isopods perforate and attach to the host integument via the mandibles and then feed on hemolymph and exudate from the wounds. Such isopods attack a variety of commercially important fish and crustacean hosts.

Ecological and phylogenetic components of flatfish ectoparasites (Pleuronectiformes: Paralichthyidae) from the Southern Gulf of Mexico. [PDF]
PLoS ONEFor many years, parasite ecologists have debated the relative importance of phylogeny and ecology as drivers of parasite community structure. Here, we address this issue using data on the metazoan ectoparasite communities of different flatfish species ...

Exploring the preservation of a parasitic trace in decapod crustaceans using finite elements analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe fossil record of parasitism is poorly understood, due largely to the scarcity of strong fossil evidence of parasites. Understanding the preservation potential for fossil parasitic evidence is critical to contextualizing the fossil record of ...

Infestation of isopod parasites in commercial marine fishes [PDF]
Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2010 Crustacean ectoparasites on marine fishes are diverse. Many species of fishes are infected by cymothoids (Crustacea, Isopoda, Cymothoidae). They are blood-feeding; several species settle in the buccal cavity of fish, others live in the gill chamber or on the body surface including the fins.

Distribution of the parasitic isopod Tachaea chinensis in China [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractTachaea chinensis Thielemann, 1910 (Isopoda: Corallanidae) is a branchial ectoparasite that attaches onto shrimps and prawns. However, the distribution of T. chinensis in China, especially its epidemiology, remains unclear. We determined the prevalence of T.

Parasitism of the isopod Riggia puyensis Rodríguez-Haro et al. in two armored catfish from Pastaza Province (Ecuador) [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2019 : Riggia puyensis, an ectoparasitic isopod, was collected in juvenile Chaetostoma breve and Chaetostoma microps host specimens from the Amazonian region of Ecuador. The aim of this work is to study the possible injury that the parasite causes in its host.
