Figure 2: Relationships between melanomacrophage aggregates and atrazine, phosphate and larval trematode loads. Table 1 Findings from mesocosm experiment examining the effect of atrazine on factors ...

Freshwater ecosystems provide a dynamic environment that supports a remarkable diversity of trematodes, parasitic flatworms with complex multi‐host life cycles. These organisms play a significant role ...

Understanding temporal variation of host-pathogen dynamics can be important for predicting disease risks and anticipating how disease systems may change in response to natural or human disturbances.

In estuaries around the world, tiny trematode worms take over the bodies of aquatic snails. These parasitic flatworms invade the snail’s body and use its systems to support their colony, sometimes for ...

Extensive Data characterizing larval trematode communities in marine gastropods do not exist for many systems. The purpose here is to report on the infections encountered in Delaware Ilyanassa ...

In my personal opinion, the greatest coming-of-age story on Earth does not take place in a Dickens novel or a Disney movie, but rather in a white fish at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The fish in ...

Haplorchis pumilio is far from a household name. But scientists have just discovered a diabolical strategy these microscopic parasites use against their enemies that’s never been seen before. When ...

Using heatmaps, CU Boulder researchers find that certain parasites congregate in certain parts of amphibians’ bodies, often to dire physical consequences Trematodes, also known as flukes, are a class ...

Despite the ubiquity of parasites and pathogens in all ecosystems, our understanding of their significance in mediating predator-prey interactions, primary production, energy flow and nutrient cycling ...

Parasitic worms have armies, and produce more soldiers when needed In estuaries around the world, tiny trematode worms take over the bodies of aquatic snails. These parasitic flatworms invade the ...
