No evidence for a dilution effect of the non-native snail, Potamopyrgus antipodarum, on native snails

PLoS ONE, 2020
The dilution effect can occur by a range of mechanisms and results in reduced parasite prevalence in host taxa. In invaded ecosystems, the dilution effect can benefit native species if non-native species, acting as resistant or less competent hosts ...

IDENTIFICATION OF SOME TREMATODE CERCARIAE COLLECTED FROM SIX MARINE SNAIL SPECIES OF THE GENUS NERITA. [PDF]

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2018
Transmission of trematode cercariae depends mainly on the presence of marine snails as an intermediate host for zoonotic diseases. Parasitic infections in marine snails are poorly discussed. The current study was aimed to investigate the collected snails

Rare inventory of trematode diversity in a protected natural reserve

Scientific Reports, 2021
In the face of ongoing habitat degradation and the biodiversity crisis, natural reserves are important refuges for wildlife. Since most free-living organisms serve as hosts to parasites, the diverse communities in protected areas can be expected to ...

Trematode infections in frogs: Do all cercarial morphotypes infect and induce effects on the common hourglass tree frog, Polypedates cruciger?

Ceylon Journal of Science, 2018
Trematode infections are known to induce malformations and increase mortality in amphibians. However, not all the larval trematodes induce effects on the host. Nine types of cercariae (A-I) belonging to five morphotypes (oculopleurolophocercous, distome,
