Mortality in the rockpool shrimp Palaemon elegans following long-term exposure to low doses of the anti-parasitic drug teflubenzuron

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2020
Anti-parasitic drugs used to control sea lice infestations in the salmonid aquaculture industry are a growing environmental concern due to their potential impacts on non-target crustacean species.

Parasitic manipulation and neuroinflammation: Evidence from the system Microphallus papillorobustus (Trematoda) - Gammarus (Crustacea)

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2010
Background Neuropathological consequences of neuroinflammatory processes have been implicated in a wide range of diseases affecting the central nervous system (CNS). Glial cells, the resident immune cells of the CNS, respond to tissue injury by releasing

Inter-population variability in the reproductive morphology of the shore crab (Carcinus maenas): Evidence of endocrine disruption in a marine crustacean? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Environmental contaminants that are capable of causing endocrine disrupting effects are currently a major cause for concern. These chemicals are known to influence the reproductive development of vertebrates by mimicking or antagonising the actions of ...

Infection of Gammarus duebeni populations by two vertically transmitted microsporidia; parasite detection and discrimination by PCR–RFLP [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We screened a population of the brackish water crustacean Gammarus duebeni from the Isle of Cumbrae for the presence of vertically transmitted microsporidia.

Comparative Tandem Mass Tag-Based Quantitative Proteomic Analysis of Tachaea chinensis Isopod During Parasitism

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Parasitic isopods perforate and attach to the host integument via the mandibles and then feed on hemolymph and exudate from the wounds. Such isopods attack a variety of commercially important fish and crustacean hosts.

Infection with an acanthocephalan helminth reduces anxiety-like behaviour in crustacean host

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Trophically transmitted heteroxenous parasites of diverse clades can decrease or reverse antipredator behaviours in their intermediate hosts, thereby increasing their chances of reaching their final hosts.

Crustaceans Parasitic on Fishes

open access: yesThe American Biology Teacher, 1986
Most commercial and sport fishermen, especially those who frequent marine waters, are well acquainted with parasitic crustaceans scurrying about rapidly over the external surface of fishes. Sportsmen often refer to them as "fish lice" or "sea lice". Students of biology might also want to become familiar with these curious creatures, and would probably ...

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.

Impacts of crustacean invasions on parasite dynamics in aquatic ecosystems: A plea for parasite-focused studies

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2017
While there is considerable interest in, and good evidence for, the role that parasites play in biological invasions, the potential parallel effects of species introduction on parasite dynamics have clearly received less attention.

New host range for Hematodinium in southern Australia and novel tools for sensitive detection of parasitic dinoflagellates.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Hematodinium is a parasitic dinoflagellate and emerging pathogen of crustaceans. It preferably manifests in haemolymph of marine decapod crustaceans, killing a large variety of genera with significant impacts on fisheries worldwide.
