Isopod parasite influences prawn responsiveness and activity
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2022Most bopyrid isopod parasites, which are crustaceans themselves, settle in the branchial chamber of decapod crustaceans and feed on host haemolymph. Here we report the results of an experiment on the common prawn Palaemon serratus and the parasite Bopyrus squillarum.

Chromosomes of the Parasitic Isopod Anilocra Physodes
Crustaceana, 1996AbstractCounts of mitotic chromosomes have allowed to determine 2n = 12 as the modal diploid number of Anilocra physodes. Application of the C-banding technique reveals that two hetero-chromatic blocks bordering the centromeric region occur in each chromosome. This supports the notion that the actual low chromosome number of A.

Apparent kleptoparasitism in fish—parasitic gnathiid isopods
Parasitology Research, 2018Gnathiid isopods are common external parasites/micropredators that feed on the blood of marine fishes. During the course of processing samples of gnathiid isopods collected from light traps in the central Philippines, we observed a gnathiid attached to and apparently feeding from the abdomen of another gnathiid.

The energetic cost of parasitism in isopods
Écoscience, 2010Abstract: Assessment of the energetic costs of parasitism is central to understanding the role of parasites in their hosts' foodwebs, but few studies have directly measured these costs. This study demonstrates that infection with the acanthocephalan parasite Acanthocephalus tehlequahensis causes a significant and direct energetic cost to its freshwater

Collecting Marine Gnathiid Isopod Fish Parasites with Light Traps
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2023A method to collect marine gnathiid isopod fish parasites with the use of light traps is presented. Gnathiid isopods are a major group of marine fish parasites that feed on blood and fluid from host fishes, mostly at night. Like ticks and mosquitos on land, they associate only temporarily with their host and spend most of their life free-living in the ...

Spatial variation in the parasitic isopod load of the Japanese halfbeak in western Japan [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2016 Cymothoid isopods (family Cymothoidae) are commonly found parasitizing diverse fishes, including commercial species. However, the effects of these parasites on host body condition are still poorly known. Here we investigated the spatial variation of the effects of parasite infection on host body condition, using the parasitic load of the cymothoid ...

Parasitism does not reduce thermal limits in the intermediate host of a bopyrid isopod
Journal of Thermal Biology, 2023Parasitism has strong effects on community dynamics. Given the detrimental effects parasites have on host health, infection or infestation might be expected to reduce upper thermal limits, increasing the vulnerability of host species to future climate change.
