As with all animals, crustaceans serve as hosts to a very diverse taxa of parasites. These parasites range from unusual dinoflagellates that parasitise the hemocoels or eggs of their hosts, to classical helminths that use crustaceans as intermediate hosts, and to the bizarrely adapted tantulocarid and rhizocephalan crustaceans with their highly derived

Evolutionary History of Crustaceans as Parasites
2021Modern crustaceans are extremely diverse, not only in their morphologies, but also in their life styles. It is therefore not surprising that parasitism evolved in various lineages of Eucrustacea independently, in groups such as amphipodan, isopodan and copepodan crustaceans, but also barnacles and fish lice.

Fossil Crustaceans as Parasites and Hosts
2015Numerous crustacean lineages have independently moved into parasitism as a mode of life. In modern marine ecosystems, parasitic crustaceans use representatives from many metazoan phyla as hosts. Crustaceans also serve as hosts to a rich diversity of parasites, including other crustaceans.

The Sexuality of Parasitic Crustaceans
1993Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the sexuality of parasitic crustaceans. Although large numbers of parasites are found throughout the crustacea, certain groups of crustaceans are particularly well endowed with parasitic species. These are the branchiurans, the copepods, the tantulocarids, the rhizocephalic cirripedes, and the isopods.

Host Partitioning by Parasites in an Intertidal Crustacean Community
Journal of Parasitology, 2010Patterns of host use by parasites throughout a guild community of intermediate hosts can depend on several biological and ecological factors, including physiology, morphology, immunology, and behavior. We looked at parasite transmission in the intertidal crustacean community of Lower Portobello Bay, Dunedin, New Zealand, with the intent of: (1) mapping

The Ecological Significance of Parasitic Crustaceans
2019Despite that aquatic parasite diversity and abundance likely surpasses that of terrestrial parasites, our understanding of aquatic parasites lags far behind our knowledge of terrestrial parasites. This is undoubtedly attributable to our being terrestrial primates and the associated logistical challenges of studying most aquatic environments.

AbstractOf all the metazoan groups discussed in this book, the crustaceans are the most diverse and ubiquitous. Among them, the copepods are dominant. They, jointly with the monogeneans, are the most diverse group of metazoan ectoparasites of marine fishes; in addition, they infect a wide range of marine invertebrates.

Genetic diversity of the crustacean parasite Hematodinium (Alveolata, Syndinea)
European Journal of Protistology, 2010In the absence of distinct morphological characteristics, knowledge of genetic relationships within and between protist parasite species is important for determining reservoir hosts and understanding the biology of the causative agents of emerging diseases.

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 ...

Environmental Sex Determination in a Crustacean Parasite
International Journal of Invertebrate Reproduction and Development, 1988Summary Depending on environmental conditions, 2 different male forms both capable of mating were observed in a marine copepod parasite of ascidians (Urochordata). Results of new experiments indicate the nature of these external factors. The occurrence of atypical males is linked to restricted amounts of food whereas occurrence of typical males ...
