The distribution and host-association of a haemoparasite of damselfishes (Pomacentridae) from the eastern Caribbean based on a combination of morphology and 18S rDNA sequences
(Elsevier, 2018)
Coral reefs harbor the greatest biodiversity per unit area of any ecosystem on earth. While parasites constitute the majority of this biodiversity, they remain poorly studied due to the cryptic nature of many parasites and ...
Developing an apicomplexan dna barcoding system to detect blood parasites of small coral reef fishes
(American Society of Parasitologists, 2017)
Apicomplexan parasites are obligate parasites of many species of vertebrates. To date, there is very limited
understanding of these parasites in the most-diverse group of vertebrates, actinopterygian fishes. While DNA ...
Blood parasite biodiversity of reef-associated fishes of the eastern Caribbean
(Inter–Research, 2015)
Parasitic micro-organisms can influence
multiple ecological processes, from growth, mortality,
and behavior, to community structure and trophic
interactions, yet are typically ignored components of
marine biodiversity. ...
