  Fish parasites may potentially harm fisheries and aquaculture. Infected fish are unusable, even though they would not pose a direct risk to human health. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the ecology and ...

• Connection between temperature, larval production, virulence and geographical distribution of Rhipidocotyle parasites infecting the duck mussel, Anodonta anatina 

  Choo, Jocelyn M. (University of Jyväskylä, 2015)

  In this thesis, two bucephalid trematode parasites Rhipidocotyle campanula and R. fennica, which use the same first (Anodonta anatina) and second intermediate (Rutilus rutilus) host were studied. The aim was to investigate ...

• Glochidial infection by the endangered Margaritifera margaritifera (Mollusca) increased survival of salmonid host (Pisces) during experimental Flavobacterium disease outbreak 

  Chowdhury, M. Motiur, R.; Roy, Amitav; Auvinen, Kalle; Pulkkinen, Katja; Suonia, Hanna; Taskinen, Jouni (Springer, 2021)

  Co-infections are common in host-parasite interactions, but studies about their impact on the virulence of parasites/diseases are still scarce. The present study compared mortality induced by a fatal bacterial pathogen, ...

• Relationship between the endangered freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera, its salmonid host and co-infectants 

  Chowdhury, M. Motiur R. (Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2018)

  The relationship between the freshwater pearl mussel (hereafter FPM), Margaritifera margaritifera, and its salmonid host — pivotal for the conservation of this endangered bivalve — is characterized by a long parasitic ...
