DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4939
Abstract: Abstract Despite over 100 years of digenean trematode parasite species descriptions, from a wide diversity of vertebrate and invertebrate host species, our ability to recognize the diversity of trematode species within a single lake remains… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/vms3.748
Abstract: BACKGROUND The important trematode species in small ruminants: Paramphistomum sp., Fasciola spp. and Schistosoma spp. seriously affect the productivity of domestic ruminants in endemic areas. METHODS In the present study, we identified the potential risk… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00436-022-07523-6
Abstract: Land disturbances caused by urban development modify and create novel habitats with novel ecological pressures, which in turn may negatively affect remaining wildlife populations, e.g. by altering interspecific interactions. However, it is not clear whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0022149x17000402
Abstract: Abstract Trematode infections cause serious economic losses to livestock worldwide. Global production losses due to fasciolosis alone exceed US$3 billion annually. Many trematode infections are also zoonotic and thus a public health concern. The World… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0022149x20000875
Abstract: We present a time series of 13 years (2003-2016) of continuous monthly data on the prevalence and mean abundance of the trematode Oligogonotylus mayae for all the hosts involved in its life cycle. We aimed… read more here.

Parasitic manipulation or by-product of infection: an experimental approach using trematode-infected snails
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Helminthology"
DOI: 10.1017/s0022149x21000699
Abstract: Abstract Natural selection should favour parasite genotypes that manipulate hosts in ways that enhance parasite fitness. However, it is also possible that the effects of infection are not adaptive. Here we experimentally examined the phenotypic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0022149x22000402
Abstract: Abstract Digenetic trematodes are important parasites of humans and animals. They have complex life cycles and typically infect a gastropod as the first intermediate host. Bithynia siamensis goniomphalos, the first intermediate host of the liver… read more here.

Freshwater mussels (Anodonta anatina) reduce transmission of a common fish trematode (eye fluke, Diplostomum pseudospathaceum)

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182017001421
Abstract: SUMMARY Recent results suggest that bivalves can play an important role in restraining the spread of various aquatic infections. However, the ability of mussels to remove free-living stages of macroparasites and reduce their transmission is… read more here.

Parasites in space and time: a novel method to assess and illustrate host-searching behaviour of trematode cercariae

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182018000288
Abstract: Abstract The transmission from one host to another constitutes a challenging obstacle for parasites and is a key determinant of their fitness. Due to their complex life histories involving several different hosts, the free-living dispersal… read more here.
