Does the Infestation by Trematode Parasites Influence Trade-Offs Between Somatic Condition and Male Reproductive Traits in a Viviparous Fish? [PDF]
J Fish DisABSTRACT Life history theory predicts that a trade‐off may occur when an increased investment in one fitness component causes a reduced investment in another. Parasites generate changes in the optimal life history traits of organisms, causing compromises for their hosts. The objective of this research was to determine whether trematodes Clinostomum sp.

Diplostomum-Induced Sac Formation in Lenses of Ameiurus Bullheads: A Host Defence Response? [PDF]
J Fish DisABSTRACT Trematodes of the genus Diplostomum (Diplostomidae) are widely distributed and significant fish pathogens known for causing a range of negative effects. Any mechanism that protects the host from the parasite thus represents an evolutionary advantage.

Submissions of diagnostic samples of two critically endangered species of handfish (Branchionichthys hirsutus and Thymichthys politus) from a public aquarium from 2018 to 2024. [PDF]
J Fish DisAbstract Handfish (Family Brachionichthyidae) is the most threatened marine teleost fish family, however, there is little information on handfish health. We reviewed the results of submissions of mortalities from captive and captive bred spotted handfish (Branchionichthys hirsutus (Lacepède, 1804)) and red handfish (Thymichthys politus (Richardson ...

UNUSUAL PATHOGENICITY OF A COMMON METACERCARIA OF FISH [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1970 The metacercaria of Posthodiplostomum minimum centrarchi Hoffman, 1958, is reported from an unusual host, Roccus saxatilis, from North Carolina. Although few dead or moribund fish were observed, there were many deformed fish, few of which survived. The metacercariae were in the musculature and orbit of the eye instead of in the usual location in the ...
