Bacterial community dynamics following antibiotic exposure in a trematode par...
Parasites harbour rich microbial communities that may play a role in host-parasite interactions, from influencing the parasites infectivity to modulating its virulence.... -
Bacteriome consistency in a parasitic worm: variation throughout the life cyc...
Microbial communities within metazoans are increasingly linked with development, health and behaviour, possibly functioning as integrated evolutionary units with the animal in... -
Parasite transmission from first to second intermediate trematode marine moll...
In this study, we examined how chemical cues from a predatory marine crab affect the transmission of a parasitic trematode from its first (periwinkle) to its second (mussel)... -
Experiments on the life cycle of the trematode Himasthla elongata
In this experiment, we assessed the different transmission steps from the first to the second intermediate host: i) cercarial emergence from periwinkles, ii) cercarial activity... -

Exp. III: cercarial infectivity in mussels and Exp. IV: susceptibility of acc...
The infectivity of H. elongata cercariae was investigated by counting metacercariae in M. edulis, after a standardized exposure to cercariae acclimated at different temperatures... -
Exp. II: cercarial activity and survival
For cercarial activity and survival infected periwinkles were acclimated for three weeks under the different treatments (n=10 individuals per treatment) and incubated to allow... -
Exp. I: cercarial emergence from periwinkles
Cercarial emergence was assessed by counting all cercariae that emerged from single periwinkles exposed to the different treatments. Periwinkles were collected in Årøsund,...
