| parasite communities of two three-spined stickleback populations in subarctic norway--effects of a small spatial-scale host introduction. | co-introduction and colonization of parasites with the introduction of new host species into aquatic habitats may depend on the host specificity and dispersal capabilities of the parasites. we compared the metazoan parasite community of an introduced three-spined stickleback (gasterosteus aculeatus) population with that of the nearby source population in subarctic norway. as expected from a small spatial scale (5 km), the parasite component communities in the two lakes were highly similar. all i ... | 2015 | 25630694 |
| natural and anthropogenic factors shape metazoan parasite community structure in mummichog (fundulus heteroclitus) from two estuaries in new brunswick, canada. | previously published multidisciplinary studies in the miramichi and bouctouche rivers (new brunswick, canada) noted significant changes in fish health parameters, including elevated tissue levels of organic contaminants and a wide range of physiological disturbances, in mummichog fundulus heteroclitus (l.) from a site on the miramichi river that received bleached kraft pulpmill and municipal effluent. the present study reports differences in the abundance of individual parasite species, as well ... | 2011 | 22053620 |
| seasonal variation of parasite infection of three-spined stickleback (gasterosteus aculeatus l.) in the southern baltic. | seasonal changes of infection were observed in the case of some species of ectoparasites: trichodina domerguei domerguei, t. tenuidens, gyrodactylus arcuatus, and thersitina gasterostei, as well as for endoparasites: glugea anomala, schistocephalus solidus, diphyllobothrium ditremum, and proteocephalus filicollis. same seasonal changes in frequency of developmental stages were observed in the case of females t. gasterostei. the highest level of infection with ectoparasites was observed in spring ... | 2002 | 16894719 |

| phylogenetic analysis of european species of proteocephalus (cestoda: proteocephalidea): compatibility of molecular and morphological data, and parasite-host coevolution. | the phylogeny of european species of the tapeworm genus proteocephalus was studied, based on partial 18s rdna and morphological data. the group was found to be monophyletic. the analysis showed a low informative value of available morphological characters in comparison with molecular data. the morphological matrix resulted in a poorly resolved tree which is, however, compatible with the topology (proteocephalus osculatus (proteocephalus torulosus (proteocephalus macrocephalus, proteocephalus fil ... | 2001 | 11429177 |
