Do three-spined sticklebacks avoid consuming copepods, the first intermediate host of
Schistocephalus solidus - an experimental analysis of behavioural resistance.
Highest prevalence and intensities of Schistocephalus pungitii in ninespine sticklebacks occurred in LP92 (Table 3).
On Sable Island, Cosmocephalus obvelatus, Paracuaria adunca, Contracaecum sp., Diphyllobothrium ditremum, Schistocephalus pungitii, Gyrodactylus canadensis and Thersitina gasterostei were reported from ninespine sticklebacks inhabiting Main Pond (Marcogliese, 1992b).
Effect of the cestode macroparasite Schistocephalus pungitii on the reproductive success of ninespine stickleback, Pungitius pungitius.
Decreased reproductive investment of female threespine stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus infected with the cestode Schistocephalus solidus: parasite adaptation, host adaptation, or side effect?
