Role of Crassicauda sp. in natural mortality of pantropical spotted dolphins Stenella attenuata: a reassessment [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2014 Evaluating the effect of parasites on population size is essential for designing management and conservation plans of wild animal populations. Although knowledge in this area is scarce in cetaceans, current evidence suggests that species of the nematode genus Crassicauda may play an important regulatory role in some populations. In the present study, a
