Trematode Infection Prevalence Increases With Snail Richness: Observations From a 4-Year Study of Snail-Trematode Interactions. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe find that higher snail richness correlated with increased overall and generalist trematode infections, while specialist infections showed a similar but nonsignificant trend. The study also highlighted potential host‐switching events and the impact of long‐term sampling on parasite communities, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring of host ...

The role of small‐scale environmental gradients on trematode infection
Freshwater Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 1453-1461, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Parasitism rates can vary dramatically across large and small spatial scales. Such heterogeneity in infection is driven by variation in environmental factors that influence the probability of host and parasite encountering each other (encounter filters) and of genetic and physiological factors that alter whether that encounter results in a ...

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%
