Cercarial release from the first intermediate host is an
important stage in the transmission of trematode parasites. Besides
long-term (seasonal) temperature fluctuations, short-term temperature
changes can also influence cercarial emergence. We tested the response
of the bucephalid trematode, Rhipidocotyle fennica (R. fennica),
acclimatized to 17 °C, to an abrupt temperature change. As the
natural cercarial shedding by this parasite takes place annually during
the warmest season, we expected a positive effect of temperature
increase. Monitoring during one hour after the transfer from 17 °C to
20 °C revealed a significant increase in R. fennica cercarial release
compared to the preceding one hour period. In contrast, cercarial
release decreased in clams transferred to 14 °C, while no change
was observed in control clams transferred from 17 °C to 17 °C. This
shows that the cercarial release by R. fennica is sensitive to short-term
temperature change, and, as predicted, responds positively to warming
and negatively to cooling. The result emphasizes the importance of
(i) temperature on the cercarial production of trematodes, and (ii) the
need to carefully control temperature conditions when studying factors
influencing the cercarial production of trematodes.

The effect of temperature on cercariae production of two Rhipidocotyle trematodes parasitizing freshwater mussel, Anodonta anatina.
Alabi, Waidi (2013)Two bucephalid trematodes, Rhipidocotyle campanula and R. fennica are known to infect the duck mussel, Anodonta anatina. The infection will lead to decrease growth, reproduction and survival of A. anatina. Given the important ... -
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 ... -
Reproduction cycle, trematode parasitism and growth of freshwater mussel Anodonta anatina (Bivalvia: Unionidae)
Abdelsaleheen, Olfat; Taskinen, Jouni; Kekäläinen, Jukka; Kortet, Raine (Springer, 2024)Anodonta anatina, a widely distributed Eurasian freshwater mussel, has dramatically declined and listed as endangered species in IUCN Red List in some parts of the Europe. To better understand its basic biology and possible ... -
Shell morphology of the unionid mussels (Anodonta anatina, Unio pictorum and U. tumidus) in relation to gender and trematode parasitism
Moteka, Ebenezar Njimerie (2015)Freshwater mussels (Unionoida) show great variability in shell morphology which can be associated with differences in habitat, sex and/or parasite infection. Three unionid mussel species, (Anodonta anatina, Unio pictorum ... -
Does the freshwater mussel Anodonta anatina remove the fish pathogen Flavobacterium columnare from water?
Hajisafarali, Mahsa; Aaltonen, Sari; Pulkkinen, Katja; Taskinen, Jouni (Springer, 2022)Global decline of freshwater mussels (Unionoida) is threatening biodiversity and the essential ecosystem services that mussels provide. As filter-feeding organisms, freshwater mussels remove phytoplankton and suspended ...
