Parasite Biology and Host Interactions

A common marking method influences fish-parasite interactions

This study shows that VIE marking in guppies does not affect growth but increases parasite burden and transmission rates over time.

Effects of the nemertean egg predator Carcinonemertes carcinophila (Carcinonemertidae: Monostilifera) on the reproductive output and fecundity of the Florida Atlantic blue crab Callinectes sapidus.

This study examines the impact of the nemertean parasite Carcinonemertes carcinophila on the reproductive output of Florida blue crabs, finding that body mass and embryo stage are stronger predictors than infestation status.
