| seasonal abundance of proteocephalus ambloplitis (cestoidea: proteocephalidea) from largemouth bass living in a heated reservoir. | proteocephalus ambloplitis was recovered from largemouth bass inhabiting different thermal regimes, ranging from normal to greater than 10 degrees c above normal, on the energy research and development administration's (erda) savannah river plant near aiken, south carolina. possible alterations in the mechanisms initiating plerocercoid migration as proposed by fischer & freeman (1969) were noted. according to these authors, a rise in temperature from 4 to 7 degrees c and above stimulated migrati ... | 1976 | 980541 |
| proteocephalus ambloplitis and contracaecum sp. from largemouth bass (micropterus salmoides) stocked into boundary reservoir, saskatchewan. | nonresident (introduced) largemouth bass (micropterus salmoides) from boundary reservoir, saskatchewan were examined for helminths. four species of parasites were found (diplostomum sp., proteocephalus ambloplitis, pomphorhynchus bulbocolli, and contracaecum sp.). contracaecum sp. larvae were absent in age-0 and age-1 bass, but prevalence and mean intensity increased with age for bass age-2 or older. similarly, the prevalence and mean intensity of p. ambloplitis plerocercoids in bass were low un ... | 1990 | 2380875 |
| interaction of bass tapeworm, proteocephalus ambloplitis, and neoechinorhynchus sp. (acanthocephala) in largemouth bass, micropterus salmoides. | the number of plerocercoids of the bass tapeworm, proteocephalus ambloplitis, in wild largemouth bass was negatively correlated (r = -0.94) with the number of neoechinorhynchus sp. competitive inhibition between the 2 parasites appeared to exist. similarly, the numbers of neoechinorhynchus sp. in wild bass decreased when adult bass tapeworms were present in the intestine. proteocephalus ambloplitis plerocercoids used to challenge bass vaccinated with either p. ambloplitis adult or neoechinorhync ... | 1988 | 3193328 |

| proteinase activity in the plerocercoid of proteocephalus ambloplitis (cestoda). | host invasion and tissue migration of several helminths have been linked to expression and release of parasite-derived proteinases. the plerocercoid of the cestode proteocephalus ambloplitis can migrate into the visceral organs or, in the case of bass, from them into the intestinal tract of the same individual fish. it does this within a few hours, aided by secretion of a substance from its apical gland. proteinase activity in this plerocercoid, obtained from the host liver, was defined by ph op ... | 1994 | 8084667 |
