long-term investigation of the composition and richness of intestinal helminth communities in the stocked population of eel, anguilla anguilla, in neusiedler see, austria.data from a long-term study of the intestinal helminth parasite community of eels, anguilla anguilla, stocked into the shallow eutrophic neusiedler see, austria, were collected over an 8 year period (1994-2001). in total, 720 eels from 2 sampling sites were examined. the parasite community showed characteristics similar to those in the natural eel populations in rivers of the uk and mainland europe: it was species poor, with only 5 species (acanthocephalus lucii, acanthocephalus anguillae, raphi ...200515727068
echinorhynchus salmonis müller, 1784 absent in britain and ireland: re-identification of museum specimens.collections of 'echinorhynchus salmonis' from britain and ireland deposited in the natural history museum, london (1921.7.19.3-12 and 1952.10.30.122-127) were re-identified as acanthocephalus clavula and acanthocephalus lucii respectively. the amphipod, pontoporeia affinis, european intermediate host of e. salmonis, does not occur in the british isles, so it is concluded that e. salmonis is absent from british and irish freshwater fishes.200415139381
long-term stability in the richness and structure of helminth communities in eels, anguilla anguilla, in lough derg, river shannon, ireland.a data set on intestinal helminth parasites was collected in the course of an 18 year investigation into the biology of eels in meelick bay, lough derg, river shannon. this was used to test two hypotheses relating to the composition and structure of intestinal helminth communities, namely that eels in large rivers do not harbour richer and more diverse communities than those in small rivers but that community composition and structure are more stable over time than in small rivers. the helminth ...200212498636
co-existence of congeneric species of acanthocephala: acanthocephalus lucii and a. anguillae in eels anguilla anguilla in ireland.a population of eels anguilla anguilla from lough derg, r. shannon, ireland, harbouring infections of both acanthocephalus lucii and a. anguillae was studied over three years. both parasite species had the same intermediate host and eels appeared to be the only definitive host for a. anguillae. throughout the whole period, a. lucii was the dominant parasite, was over-dispersed throughout the eel population and most frequently occurred as a single species infection. a. anguillae was far less comm ...19873696765
parasite fauna of the eel, anguilla anguilla (linnaeus, 1758), from the polish part of the vistula lagoon.eel is one of the most valuable commercial fish species of the vistula lagoon. for this reason its infection by non-indigenous species of parasites is the subject of the interest of sciencists.200617120993
richness and diversity of parasite communities in european eels anguilla anguilla of the river rhine, germany, with special reference to helminth parasites.a total of 121 european eels (anguilla anguilla) from 2 sampling sites on the river rhine were investigated in respect of their parasite communities. special attention was given to the swim bladders, intestines, gills and fins of the fish. twelve different parasite species were found to live in and on the eels. data from each sampling site were kept separate. parasites found in descending order of prevalence were: anguillicola crassus, trypanosoma granulosum, myxobolus sp., paratenuisentis ambig ...199910503258
