| the ecology of diplostomum phoxini infections in two minnow (phoxinus phoxinus) populations in scotland. | data are presented on the infection dynamics of the brain-dwelling metacercariae of diplostomum phoxini (digenea: trematoda) parasitizing european minnow (phoxinus phoxinus) populations in a lowland river (river endrick) and a highland loch (loch maragan) in central scotland. prevalence of the parasite approached 100% in all samples taken from both populations over a 12-month period, and within each population the intensity of infection increased with increasing host fork length. however, the tw ... | 1997 | 9705677 |
