The South American subcontinent supports one of the world's most diverse and
commercially very important ichthyofauna. In this context, the study of South American fish …

Aggregation of macroparasites among hosts is a near-universal pattern, and has important
consequences for the stability of host-parasite associations and the impacts of disease …

In the tropics, variations in the structure and species composition of marine fish parasite
communities over several years have received limited attention. Changes in water …

The present investigation evaluated the influence of seasonality and locality on the structure
of the parasite community of the catfish Pimelodus blochii. A total of 160 fish were collected …

Introduction Two new dactylogyrid monogeneans, Anacanthorus cultro n. sp. and
Notozothecium palometae n. sp., are described based on specimens collected from the gill …

Marine parasite communities can exhibit temporal and spatial changes in response to
seasonal and local variations in several biotic and abiotic environmental factors. Limited …

Parasite communities in Caranx sexfasciatus were characterized and analyzed to determine
any interannual variations in structure and/or species composition. In total, 422 C …

Biotic or abiotic factors responsible for temporal or spatial variation in metazoan parasite
communities of the green jack Caranx caballus were studied over a nine-year period using …

We analyzed the distribution and ecological relationships in the parasitic infracommunities
of four species of the genus Hypostomus: Hypostomus regani, Hypostomus strigaticeps …

The distribution of parasites in host populations is integral to simulations of parasite
populations. We compared three methods to measure parasite aggregation, namely the …
