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.

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

Checklist of Crustacea parasitizing fishes from Brazil [PDF]
Here we provide a checklist of the crustacean species parasitizing both marine and freshwater fishes from Brazil. We list a total of 134 species of parasitic crustaceans associated with 205 species of fishes in Brazil.

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

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
