Abstract Larval stages of the trematodes Maritrema madrynense and Hemiuroidea fam. gen. et sp. differentially parasitized Siphonaria lessonii and S. lateralis, two sympatric pulmonate snail species on the rocky intertidal shore at Puerto Deseado, south-western Atlantic coast of Patagonia, Argentina. Snail specimens were collected at two sampling sites with contrasting physical–chemical characteristics. One site, in the upper intertidal, was exposed to sewage from fish-processing plants, greater…

Cryptic speciation of the zoogonid digenean Diphterostomum flavum n. sp. demonstrated by morphological and molecular data

Diphterostomum brusinae (Zoogonidae) is a digenean species that has been recorded worldwide parasitizing marine fishes. Several species have been synonymized with D. brusinae because they lack…

Spatio-temporal variations in larval digenean assemblages of Heleobia parchappii (Mollusca: Cochliopidae) inhabiting four human-impacted streams.

The spatio-temporal variations of larval digenean assemblages parasitizing H. parchappii seem to be mainly influenced by the diversity and vagility of definitive hosts, the types of digsenean life cycles and habitat characteristics, and environmental disturbances derived from anthropogenic activities are highlighted.

Development from Metacercaria to Adult of a New Species of Maritrema (Digenea: Microphallidae) Parasitic in the Kelp Gull, Larus dominicanus, from the Patagonian Coast, Argentina

This is the first report of a Maritrema species in Patagonia and the southernmost record for the genus and suggests that the crab C. altimanus acts as a second intermediate host of M. madrynensis n.

Seasonal dynamics of the cercarial and metacercarial stages of the microphallid trematode Maritrema eroliae(Digenea: Microphallidae)

The presence of mature parasites throughout the year in crabs of both sexes and all size classes, demonstrated by in vitro metacercarial excystment and liberation of ovigerous flukes, suggests continuous transmission from crab to bird is possible.

Seasonal dynamics in an intertidal mudflat: the case of a complex trematode life cycle

All of the transmission events necessary to complete the complex life cycle of the intertidal trematode Maritrema novaezealandensis primarily occur during warmer months, with peaks for prevalence and infection intensity in second intermediate amphipod hosts in summer.

Life cycles and transmission patterns of seabird digeneans in SW Iceland

The environmental conditions in the coastal ecosystem of SW Iceland are favourable for the transmission of complex life cycles of seabird digenean species, and the abundance and diversity of both potential final hosts (birds) and second intermediate hosts (littoral invertebrates and fishes) are considered to contribute to the richness of the digsenean fauna.

Relating bird host distribution and spatial heterogeneity in trematode infections in an intertidal snail—from small to large scale

Investigation of shorebird abundance and spatial distribution of larval trematodes in the New Zealand mudsnail, Zeacumantus subcarinatus, found that trematode prevalence in snails was positively correlated with bird abundance across bays, suggesting that factors related to differences in submersion time may override the differential input of treMatode eggs from birds.

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE DISTRIBUTION OF DIGENETIC TREMATODE INFECTIONS IN A MUDSNAIL (HYDROBIA VENTROSA) POPULATION INHABITING SALT MARSH PONDS IN ICELAND

It is proposed that the habitat use and defecating habits of various species of marine and shore birds are the main determinants of the trematode distribution in the area.

COMPONENT COMMUNITY OF LARVAL TREMATODES IN THE MUDSNAIL HYDROBIA VENTROSA: TEMPORAL VARIATIONS IN PREVALENCE IN RELATION TO HOST LIFE HISTORY

Temporal variations in the prevalence of larval trematodes in the short-lived prosobranch mudsnail Hydrobia ventrosa were investigated in relation to host life history and season for 4 successive years in temperate windflats of the southern Baltic Sea and it has been shown that the late autumn–winter mortality was not the result of trematode infections.

Temporal variations in the infection of a population of Cerithidea cingulata by larval trematodes in Kuwait Bay

Trematode species were more diverse and prevalent in winter, and cercarial shedding peaked in summer, and Behaviour of the definitive host and snail population dynamics were probably the major contributors to the detected temporal pattern in the infections.

Spatio-temporal variation in the prevalence of trematodes in the bivalve Perumytilus purpuratus

Both the abundance of definitive hosts and the environmental conditions likely result in different levels of infection by trematodes in P. purpuratus between and within the localities.
