Seasonal occurrence of metazoan parasites in Tigerfish, Hydrocynus vittatus Castelnau, 1861 (Characiformes: Alestidae) from Sanyati Basin, Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe [PDF]
Lake Kariba is a tropical lake with slight variations in seasonal temperature. Temperature is an important physical variable in the biology of both fish and their parasites.

Metazoan parasites of common sole (Solea solea) and scaldfish (Arnoglossus laterna) (Pleuronectiformes) from Sinop coast of Black Sea [PDF]
The metazoan parasites were investigated of two flatfish the common sole, Solea solea (n:140) and the scaldfish, Arnoglossus laterna (n: 22) in the Sinop coast of Black Sea from June 2015 to June 2017. A total of 15 metazoan parasite species belonging to

Component communities and annual and seasonal variations of metazoan parasites in Eleotris pisonis (Gmelin, 1789) (Gobiiformes: Eleotridae) in the Amazon River, Brazil [PDF]
Our hypothesis for this study was that annual and seasonal variations do not influence the structure of the component communities and the diversity of metazoan parasites of spinycheek sleeper (Eleotris pisonis) in the Amazon River, state of Amapá, Brazil.

Susceptibility to metazoan parasite infection in amphimictic diploid and induced triploid tench (Tinca tinca L., 1758): the role of parasites in fish aquaculture [PDF]
IntroductionArtificial induction of polyploidy in fishes is a widely used method in commercial aquaculture due to its economic potential and its association with changes in cell morphology and physiology that can significantly affect individual fitness ...

Time-resolved transcriptomics of haemocyte discrimination between challenges by nematodes and inert material in the oriental armyworm Mythimna separata [PDF]
IntroductionInsects defend against large metazoan parasites such as nematodes through haemocyte-mediated encapsulation, but how haemocytes respond to living parasites remains poorly understood.

Fish, comprising over 27,000 species, represent the oldest vertebrate group and possess both innate and adaptive immune systems. The susceptibility of most wild fish to parasitic infections and related diseases is well-established. Among all vertebrates,

Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Metazoan Marine Parasites of Costa Rica: A Review
Many new marine parasite species are added every year. Still, in some places, mainly tropical regions, marine parasites have been little studied. An exhaustive review of the indexed publications where species of parasites are reported in the marine ...
