Association of Epistylis spp. (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) with parasitic crustaceans in farmed piava Megaleporinus obtusidens (Characiformes: Anostomidae)

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2018
Parasitic diseases have caused significant problems to global aquaculture production. These studies will further our knowledge of this complex problem and help implement adequate prevention measures and control strategies.

Triple barcoding for a hyperparasite, its parasitic host, and the host itself: a study of Cyclocotyla bellones (Monogenea) on Ceratothoa parallela (Isopoda) on Boops boops (Teleostei)

open access: yesParasite, 2021
Cyclocotyla bellones Otto, 1823 (Diclidophoridae) is a monogenean characterised by an exceptional way of life. It is a hyperparasite that attaches itself to the dorsal face of isopods, themselves parasites in the buccal cavity of fishes.

Truly a hyperparasite, or simply an epibiont on a parasite? The case of Cyclocotyla bellones (Monogenea, Diclidophoridae)

open access: yesParasite, 2022
Cyclocotyla bellones Otto, 1823 (Monogenea, Diclidophoridae) is one of the few monogenean species reported as hyperparasitic: the worms dwell on cymothoid isopods, themselves parasites of the buccal cavity of fishes. We present here observations based on

Histopathological Study to Evaluate the Effect of Aqueous Extract of Portunuspelagicus and Mebendazole on Hydatid Cysts in Mice [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Razi Institute, 2023
Hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation by a tapeworm of the genus Echinococcus sp., which has a global distribution. The current study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the crustacean aqueous extract of Portunuspelagicus for 2 weeks of ...

Genomic Adaptations to an Endoparasitic Lifestyle in the Morphologically Atypical Crustacean Sacculina carcini (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The endoparasitic crustacean Sacculina carcini (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala) has a much simpler morphology than conventional filter-feeding barnacles, reflecting its parasitic lifestyle.

Pronounced and prevalent intersexuality does not impede the ‘Demon Shrimp’ invasion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Crustacean intersexuality is widespread and often linked to infection by sex-distorting parasites. However, unlike vertebrate intersexuality, its association with sexual dysfunction is unclear and remains a matter of debate.

Crustaceans as Hosts of Parasites Throughout the Phanerozoic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The fossil record of crustaceans as hosts of parasites has yielded three confirmed associations: epicaridean isopod-induced swellings on Jurassic-Recent decapod crustaceans, feminization of Cretaceous and Miocene male crabs possibly caused by rhizocephalan barnacles, and presumed pentastomids on/in Silurian ostracods.

Origin of the natural variation in the storage of dietary carotenoids in freshwater amphipod crustaceans.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Carotenoids are diverse lipophilic natural pigments which are stored in variable amounts by animals. Given the multiple biological functions of carotenoids, such variation may have strong implications in evolutionary biology. Crustaceans such as Gammarus
