Prevalence and distribution of Aeromonas hydrophila in the United States
- T. Hazen, C. Fliermans, R. Hirsch, G. Esch

- 1 November 1978
A. hydrophila could not be isolated from extremely saline, thermal, or polluted waters, even though it was found over wide ranges of salinity, conductivity, temperature, pH, and turbidity.
Patterns in helminth communities in freshwater fish in Great Britain: alternative strategies for colonization
- G. Esch, C. Kennedy, A. O. Bush, J. Aho
- Biology, Environmental ScienceParasitology
- 1 June 1988
Recognition and appreciation of the different colonization strategies of autogenic and allogenic helminths in respect of host vagility and ability to cross land or sea barriers and break down habitat isolation provides an understanding of, and explanation for, the observed patchy spatial distribution of many helminth communities.
Impact of ecological succession on the parasite fauna in centrarchids from oligotrophic and eutrophic ecosystems.
- G. Esch
- Environmental Science, Biology
- 1 July 1971
A trophic hypothesis, based on the nature of predatorprey relationships in each of the two types of ecosystem, is proposed to explain the distribution patterns of parasites.
A perspective on the ecology of trematode communities in snails
- G. Esch, L. Curtis, M. A. Barger
- Biology, Environmental ScienceParasitology
- 1 November 2001
The role of gastropods as keystone species for trematodes and their communities is highlighted, suggesting that trematode infracommunities tend to be isolationist in character rather than interactive.
Population Dynamics of Chaetogaster limnaei limnaei (Oligochaeta) as Affected by a Trematode Parasite in Helisoma anceps (Gastropoda)
- Jacqueline C. Fernández, T. Goater, G. Esch
- Biology
- 1 April 1991
In snails shedding cercariae of the hemiurid trematode, Halipegus occidualis, den- sities of the oligochaete were significantly higher than those in uninfected snails, and the continually accessible and nonmotile cercarioe of this trematodes were especially vulnerable to predation by Ch.
Guild structure of larval trematodes in the snail Helisoma anceps: patterns and processes at the individual host level.
- J. Fernández, G. Esch
- BiologyJournal of Parasitology
- 1 August 1991
Heterogeneity in the distribution and abundance of trematode infective stages indicate that not all the snails have the same probability of becoming infected, and predictions of the probabilities of interspecific interactions based on an analysis of observed and expected frequencies of multiple infections could be inappropriate.
