Co-infections by multiple parasite genotypes are common and have important implications for host-parasite ecology and evolution through within-host interactions. Typically, these infections take place sequentially, and therefore, the outcome of co-infection may be shaped by host immune responses triggered by previous infections. For example, in vertebrates, specific immune responses play a cent...

many brook stickleback, Eucalia inconstans, from the English Coulee, a small stream in Grand Forks, were found infected with an unrecorded species of diplostomulum metacercaria; its life cycle has been reported in abstract (Hoffman, 1955). In 1953, 51 (82%) of the 62 sticklebacks examined were infected, but in 1955 a much smaller number was infected ; no exact records were kept in 1954 and 1955...

Macroecological models are useful for assessing trends in variability developing monitoring strategies of successional changes and anthropogenic transformation aquatic ecosystems. Modelling the relationships generalised population indices also makes possible to reveal qualitative differences structure parasite component communities. We analysed helminth communities Coregonus lavaretus from a na...

The aim of the present study was shedding light on disease factors underlying mortality event among common carps inhabiting Hirfanlı Dam Lake in Türkiye spring year 2021. For this purpose various parasitological, bacteriological and virological research techniques were employed. Five parasite genera, Dactylogyrus spp., Myxobolus Eimeria Trichodina Diplostomum spp. isolated from 13 carps. opport...

During the present investigation, 23 species of fish in Lithuanian inner waters were examined for helminth parasites. Of these, 63 taxa helminths – 56 Plathyhelminthes, five Nematoda, and two Acanthocephales found. Monogenea Gyrodactylus truttae was registered Lithuania first time. Metacercariae flukes Diplostomum sp., Posthodiplostomum cuticula, Tylodelphys clavata found highest number host sp...

The lake brown trout is a salmonids fish regarded as a stationary form of the migratory trout. Within 2003-2004, 31 lake brown trout (Salmo trutta lacustris L.) from Lake Wdzydze (Poland), were examined for the presence of parasites following commonly used procedures. The parasites found represented Digenea: Diplostomum sp., Posthodiplostomum cuticola (Nordmann, 1832), Sphaerostomum globiporum ...
