Morphological vs. molecular identification of trematode species infecting the e...
Stout, Leslie; Daffe, Guillemine; Chambouvet, Aurélie; Correia, Simão; Culloty, Sarah; Freitas, Rosa; Iglesias, David; Jensen, K. ThomasIdentifying marine trematode parasites in host tissue can be complicated when there is limited morphological differentiation between species infecting the same host species. This poses a challenge for regular surveys of the parasite communities in species of socio-economic and ecological importance. Our study focused on identifying digenean trematode species infecting the marine bivalve Cerastoderma edule acros...
Trematodes in a Cyathura carinata population from a temperate intertidal estuar...
Jensen, K. Thomas; Ferreira, Susana M.; Pardal, Miguel A.A study was initiated to identify trematode patterns in Cyathura from two key sites in the Mondego Estuary: a Zostera-bed and a sand flat. The two subpopulations of Cyathura differ, as the annual recruitment success is much higher and more regular on the sandflat than on the Zostera-bed. Counting and sizing of trematode cysts inside the body of preserved Cyathura specimens enabled a description of trematode pat...
