This review assesses the usefulness of parasites as bioindicators of environmental impact.
Relevant studies published in the past decade were compiled; factorial meta-analysis …

The rheophilic European barbel Barbus barbus is an aggregative fish typically encountered
in the middle reaches of European rivers that range from southeastern England and France …

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 …

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are resistant to breakdown and are now
considered ubiquitous and concerning contaminants. Although scientific and legislative …

Background Metal uptake and accumulation in fish parasites largely depends on the
parasite group with acanthocephalans showing the highest accumulation rates. Additionally …

Some parasites are expected to have beneficial impacts on wild populations in polluted
environments because of their bioaccumulation potential of pollutants from their hosts. The …

The frequency and strength of biotic interactions are thought to be shaped by environmental
conditions. In this study, we reviewed and discussed the potential effects of toxic chemicals …

In the aquatic environment, fish are subject to different pollutants and environmental
variations that favour stress on animals, making them vulnerable to pathogens. Fish …

The aim of this study was to analyze 16 trace elements (Al, As, B, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li,
Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sr, and Zn) in different barbel (Barbus barbus) tissues and to detect the …

Concentrations of six indicator PCB congeners (IUPAC nos. 28, 52, 101, 138, 153, and 180)
were measured in several organs and adipose tissue of a freshwater predatory fishes …
