Although interest in Acanthocephala seems to have reached only a small community of
researchers worldwide, we show in this opinion article that this group of parasites is …

In the five decades since the first publication of the International Journal for Parasitology,
ecological parasitology has grown from modest beginnings to become a modern discipline …

Parasitic helminths exhibit remarkable diversity in their life cycles, although few parasite
species have their whole life cycles resolved. Owing to the fact that parasite life stages within …

Members of the Diplostomoidea mature in amniotes and employ vertebrates, annelids and
molluscs as second intermediate hosts. Diplostomoid life cycles generally follow a three …

Renicolid digeneans parasitize aquatic birds. Their intramolluscan stages develop in marine
and brackish-water gastropods, while metacercariae develop in molluscs and fishes. The …

Produced amidst the still rippling effects of a pandemic and as the world experiences the
increasing burden of global warming and a rapidly changing biosphere, the second edition …

Defence mechanisms of fish can be divided into specific and non-specific that act in concert
and are often interdependent. Most fish in both wild and cultured populations are vulnerable …

Efforts to find and characterise new parasite species in fish hosts are crucial not just to
complete our inventory of Earth's biodiversity, but also to monitor and mitigate disease …

Helminths are parasites that cause disease at considerable cost to public health and present
a risk for emergence as novel human infections. Although recent research has elucidated …

Reciprocal effects of adaptive radiations on the evolution of interspecific interactions, like
parasitism, remain barely explored. We test whether the recent radiations of European …
