Invasive alien species as reservoirs for pathogens [PDF]
Ecological Indicators, 2022 Alien plant and animal hosts play an important role as vectors of dangerous pathogens. However, the knowledge on pathogens of many host species is still limited.

Molecular phylogenetics and mitogenomics of three avian dicrocoeliids (Digenea: Dicrocoeliidae) and comparison with mammalian dicrocoeliids [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Background The Dicrocoeliidae are digenetic trematodes mostly parasitic in the bile ducts and gall bladder of various avian and mammalian hosts. Until recently their systematics was based on morphological data only.

Gene Duplication and Gain in the Trematode Atriophallophorus winterbourni Contributes to Adaptation to Parasitism. [PDF]
Genome Biol Evol, 2021 Gene duplications and novel genes have been shown to play a major role in helminth adaptation to a parasitic lifestyle because they provide the novelty necessary for adaptation to a changing environment, such as living in multiple hosts.

A global review of problematic and pathogenic parasites of farmed tilapia
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 15, Issue S1, Page 92-153, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Over the past 80 years, tilapia have been translocated globally for aquaculture; active production is recorded in >124 countries. Of 7 million tonnes of tilapia produced in aquaculture, 79% is from 79 countries outside the natural range of tilapia.

Invertebrate Biology, Volume 141, Issue 3, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Parasitic helminths with complex life cycles require multiple hosts in a particular order to complete their life cycles. Although almost all helminths infect invertebrates at some point in their life cycle, we know very little about which species of invertebrates harbor parasites compared with what is known for vertebrates. In New Zealand, <1%

Phylogeography and cryptic species structure of a locally adapted parasite in New Zealand
Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 15, Page 4112-4126, August 2022., 2022 Abstract The phylogeographic patterns of many taxa on New Zealand's South Island are characterized by disjunct distributions that have been attributed to Pleistocene climatic cycles and the formation of the Southern Alps. Pleistocene glaciation has been implicated in shaping the contemporary genetic differentiation between populations of the aquatic ...
