The effects of various solutions and levels of desiccation on the survival of Trichobilharzia stagnicolae miracidia [PDF]
ParasitologyMiracidia of Trichobilharzia stagnicolae were placed under two tests: one test examined the longevity of miracidia in various aqueous solutions; the other test examined the effects of desiccation on the hatching of miracidia from eggs.

Biology and ecology of trematodes parasitizing aquatic snails in the Ruhr reservoir system in Germany [PDF]
Parasites are integral and important elements of ecosystems that occur in virtually every habitat on this planet (Poulin 1999, Hudson et al. 2006). However, except for the obviously important role of some species as disease agents, parasites have long ...

An integrated approach to balance freshwater connectivity restoration and invasion risk
Abstract Habitat fragmentation negatively affects many native migratory fish populations. However, this fragmentation can also prevent the spread and establishment of invasive species. We modified the dendritic connectivity index (DCI), a commonly used freshwater connectivity metric, to account for multiple invasive dispersal pathways in estimates of ...

Longevity of Trichobilharzia stagnicolae miracidia in various aqueous solutions and during desiccation [PDF]
ParasitologySwimmer’s itch is caused by nonhuman schistosomes, including Trichobilharzia stagnicolae, which have complex indirect life cycles. Miracidia are a free living life cycle stage of these schistosomes that are transmitted from either an avian or
