Global analysis of seasonal changes in trematode infection levels reveals weak and variable link to temperature
Seasonal changes in environmental conditions drive phenology, i.e., the annual timing of biological events ranging from the individual to the...

The Dynamics of Trematode Occurrence in Two Permanent Settlements of the Ponto-Azov Mollusk Lithoglyphus naticoides (C. Pfeiffer, 1828) (Gastropoda, Hydrobiidae) at the Northeastern Border of Its Range
AbstractThe freshwater gastropod mollusk Lithoglyphus naticoides (C. Pfeiffer, 1828) is one of the most successful alien species in water bodies of...

Parasitism in reef fish communities: evaluating the roles of host traits, habitat use, and phylogeny on infection by Scaphanocephalus (Trematoda)
Parasites represent a critically understudied component of reef communities—a knowledge gap that has become more evident as infectious diseases...

Disturbance and disease: host–parasite interactions in freshwater streams remain stable following wildfire
Increases in the intensity and frequency of wildfires highlight the need to understand how fire disturbance affects ecological interactions. Though...

Some like it hotter: trematode transmission under changing temperature conditions
Climate change-related increases in temperature will influence the interactions between organisms, including the infection dynamics of parasites in...

Effect of a trematode infection on growth, reproduction, and mortality of shorthead sculpin
Shorthead sculpin ( Cottus confusus Bailey and Bond, 1963) in Birch Creek, Idaho, were infected with the trematode Euryhelmis cotti (Simon, 1972). Our...

Consistency of Bacterial Communities in a Parasitic Worm: Variation Throughout the Life Cycle and Across Geographic Space
Microbial communities within metazoans are increasingly linked with development, health and behaviour, possibly functioning as integrated...

Opposing life history strategies allow grass shrimp parasites to avoid a conflict of interest
A conflict of interest occurs when parasites manipulate the behavior of their host in contradictory ways to achieve different goals. In grass shrimp (

Environmental and spatial determinants of parasite communities in invasive and native freshwater fishes
Understanding why certain host species harbor more parasites is an important question in parasite and fish ecology. Parasite infection among...

Parasite–copepod interactions in Svalbard: diversity, host specificity, and seasonal patterns
Copepods of the genera Calanus and Pseudocalanus are important components of Arctic marine ecosystems. Despite the key roles of these zooplankters,...

Host and parasite identity interact in scale-dependent fashion to determine parasite community structure
Understanding the ecological assembly of parasite communities is critical to characterise how changing host and environmental landscapes will alter...

Odonata (Insecta) Larvae as the Second Intermediate Hosts of the Trematodes of Genus Plagiorchis in the Basin of Chany Lake, Western Siberia
Abstract—Trematodes of the genus Plagiorchis are widespread endoparasites with a life cycle involving several hosts. The second intermediate hosts...

Trematode prevalence and an invasive freshwater snail: fewer infections and parasites likely contribute to the success of an invasive snail
The enemy release hypothesis postulates that non-native species establish and become abundant because coevolved enemies from the native range are...

Neuronal gene expression in two generations of the marine parasitic worm, Cryptocotyle lingua
Trematodes, or flukes, undergo intricate anatomical and behavioral transformations during their life cycle, yet the functional changes in their...
