Trematode parasites infect or die in snail hosts.
The Red Queen hypothesis is based on the assumption that parasites must genetically match their hosts to infect them successfully. If the parasites fail, they are assumed to be killed by the host's immune system. Here, we tested this using sympatric (mostly susceptible) and allopatric (mostly resistant) populations of a freshwater snail and its trematode parasite. We determined whether parasite...
متن کاملBiogeographical patterns of marine larval trematode parasites in two intermediate snail hosts in Europe
Species generally show recognizable large-scale biogeographical patterns in distribution and abundance (Cox & Moore, 2005; Lomolino et al., 2006). Many species exhibit similar distributions depending on similar regional conditions, a phenomenon allowing the detection of distinct faunal provinces and regions (Briggs, 1995; Cox & Moore, 2005; Lomolino et al., 2006). Whereas free-living species ha...
متن کاملTrematode Parasites of Man
This little pamphlet is a United States Government publication, the seventeenth bulletin of the Hygenic Laboratory. It consists of 52 pages of letterpress with 88 excellent illustrations, and in addition a bibliography and two indices. It has been written in response to recent requests to the author for information in regard to the trematodes which are parasitic to man, and is offered as a read...
متن کاملHost sex and local adaptation by parasites in a snail-trematode interaction.
One of the leading theories for the evolutionary stability of sex in eukaryotes relies on parasite-mediated selection against locally common host genotypes (the Red Queen hypothesis). As such, parasites would be expected to be better at infecting sympatric host populations than allopatric host populations. Here we examined all published and unpublished infection experiments on a snail-trematode...
متن کاملControls of spatial variation in the prevalence of trematode parasites infecting a marine snail.
Geographic variability in abundance can be driven by multiple physical and biological factors operating at multiple scales. To understand the determinants of larval trematode prevalence within populations of the marine snail host Littorina littorea, we quantified many physical and biological variables at 28 New England intertidal sites. A hierarchical, mixed-effects model identified the abundan...
