This study analyzed the influence of several abiotic and biotic variables on the distribution of
digenetic trematode infections in a mudsnail, Hydrobia ventrosa, population inhabiting 12 …

Species introduced to novel regions often leave behind many parasite species. Signatures
of parasite release could thus be used to resolve cryptogenic (uncertain) origins such as that …

Trematodes of the genus Himasthla are usual parasites of coastal birds in nearshore
ecosystems of northern European seas and the Atlantic coast of North America. Their first …
