Parasitology, 1988 SUMMARYIn the eastern Mediterranean, the copepodLepeophtheirus thompsoniBaird, 1850, has been reported to infest turbot, brill and flounder. By combining several methods, including enzyme electrophoresis, we show that this species is found only in turbot.

Effectiveness of emamectin benzoate for treatment of Lepeophtheirus salmonis on farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in the Bay of Fundy, Canada [PDF]
, 2012 Emamectin benzoate (an avermectin chemotherapeutant administered to fish as an in-feed treatment) has been used to treat infestations of sea lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis on farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, Canada ...

Chemoreception in the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis: an electrophysiology approach [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2007 The search for effective and long-term solutions to the problems caused by salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer, 1837) has increasingly included biological/ecological mechanisms to combat infestation. One aspect of this work focuses on the host-associated stimuli that parasites use to locate and discriminate a compatible host.

Ionotropic receptors signal host recognition in the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis, Copepoda). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 A remarkable feature of many parasites is a high degree of host specificity but the mechanisms behind are poorly understood. A major challenge for parasites is to identify and infect a suitable host.
