Marine mammal recovery is associated with the resurgence of a nematode parasite. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract As the oceans change, the abundance of parasites and the risk of infection to marine mammals may also be changing. Nematodes in the family Anisakidae can harm marine mammals, and recent studies have revealed a global increase in these parasites, but the cause is unknown.

Phylogeny and Pathology of Anisakids Parasitizing Stranded California Sea Lions (Zalophus californianus) in Southern California

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
In marine mammals, nematode-inflicted pathological lesions combined with other pathogens and factors (i.e., pollution, climate change, domoic acid poisoning events, and seasonal El Nino starvation events) negatively impact pinnipeds’ health and may cause

Comparative histopathology of livers from Baltic cod infected with the parasitic nematode Contracaecum osculatum

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 46, Issue 6, Page 653-662, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Infection levels with the parasitic nematode Contracaecum osculatum in Eastern Baltic cod have increased in the last decades. Eastern Baltic cod is transport host for this parasite that has a high affinity for the liver of the fish. The liver is a highly vital organ and damage to the liver tissue can result in reduced functionality of the ...

Gene expression and allergenic potential of Pseudoterranova bulbosa L3 from different infection sites in North Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 45, Issue 8, Page 1073-1086, August 2022., 2022
Abstract The recent advances in molecular methods and data processing have facilitated research on anisakid nematodes. While most research efforts were made regarding the genus Anisakis, since this genus is held responsible for the majority of reported clinical signs, there is still a demand for data on the genus Pseudoterranova.

Parasites in kelp‐forest food webs increase food‐chain length, complexity, and specialization, but reduce connectance

Ecological Monographs, Volume 92, Issue 2, May 2022., 2022
Abstract We explored whether parasites are important in kelp forests by examining their effects on a high‐quality, high‐resolution kelp‐forest food web. After controlling for generic effects of network size, parasites affected kelp‐forest food web structure in some ways consistent with other systems.
