“…Additionally, other management actions can be pursued to diminish the effects of non-native parasites such as eradication and control programmes of either hosts or pathogens (e.g. Johnsen et al, 1989;Lymbery et al, 2014). …”

-The non-native parasitic anchor worm (Lernaea cyprinacea) may induce anaemia, malformations, reduced growth and increased susceptibility to secondary infection to its hosts. The objectives of this study were to (i) compile a list of the host species of L. cyprinacea in the Iberian Peninsula and (ii) assess if climate may impact on infestation levels of the parasite. There were two primary sources for data collection: (i) fish sampling in the Tormes Basin (Ávila, central Spain) during August 2010 and 2016 and (ii) data retrieved from publications containing relevant information about L. cyprinacea. Eleven temperature variables were obtained from Worldclim. Next, the relationship between infestation levels of the anchor worm (prevalence, intensity and abundance) and temperature was tested using mixed models. Fifteen cyprinids species among 18 species are host of L. cyprinacea in the Iberian Peninsula. Infestation levels of the anchor worm are highly connected to temperature. Finally, the possible implications of global warming for host-parasite interactions are discussed.Keywords: alien species / ectoparasite / fish host / global warming / mixed models Résumé -Lernaea cyprinacea (Crustacea: Copepoda) dans la péninsule ibérique : implications climatiques sur les interactions hôte-parasite. Le copépode parasite (Lernaea cyprinacea) non indigène peut induire une anémie, des malformations, une croissance réduite et une sensibilité accrue à une infection secondaire de ses hôtes. Les objectifs de cette étude étaient de (i) dresser une liste des espèces hôtes de L. cyprinacea dans la péninsule ibérique et (ii) évaluer si le climat peut avoir un impact sur les niveaux d'infestation du parasite. Il y avait deux sources principales de collecte de données : (i) l'échantillonnage des poissons dans le bassin de Tormes (Ávila, centre de l'Espagne) en août 2010 et 2016, et (ii) des données provenant de publications contenant des informations pertinentes sur L. cyprinacea. Onze variables de température ont été obtenues auprès de Worldclim. Ensuite, la relation entre les niveaux d'infestation du copépode (prévalence, intensité et abondance) et la température a été testée en utilisant des modèles mixtes. Quinze cyprinidés parmi dix-huit espèces sont hôtes de L. cyprinacea dans la péninsule ibérique. Les niveaux d'infestation de la lernée sont fortement liés à la température. Enfin, les implications possibles du réchauffement climatique pour les interactions hôte-parasite sont discutées.

“…Because of their success and impact, invasive crayfish are considered a major cause of biodiversity loss (Lodge et al, 2000;Manchester & Bullock, 2000). Non-native crayfish have further impacted their native counterparts through the introduction of co-existing symbionts (Lymbery et al, 2014). In Europe, invasion of North American crayfish has been aided by their ability to transmit crayfish plague (Aphanomyces astaci Schikora, 1906), which has caused high mortalities of susceptible native crayfish species (Holdich et al, 2014;Svoboda et al, 2016).…”

Transmission and terrestrial dispersal of non-native ectosymbionts on invasive crayfish

et al. 2018

Symbionts are a fundamental component of biological systems, and their survival is highly dependent on transmission and host movement. Ectosymbionts of amphibious animals face the added challenge of having to survive dramatic environmental changes as their hosts cross ecosystem boundaries. Within freshwaters, crayfish are amongst the most widespread invasive species that readily disperse overland and are host to a wide range of ectosymbionts. Relatively little is known about the transmission of these ectosymbionts, including their ability to survive overland host migration. Here, we assessed terrestrial emigration and both inter-and intra-specific transmissions of Xironogiton victoriensis, a nonnative branchiobdellidan (Annelida: Clitellata) recently found on invasive signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) in the UK. These branchiobdellidans tolerated desiccation and did not alter host terrestrial behaviour. Transmission was rapid between natural signal and novel virile (Orconectes cf. virilis) crayfish hosts, with host interactions facilitating transmission.Thus, branchiobdellidans can disperse via amphibious host behaviour and readily infect novel hosts. These traits facilitate symbionts' survival and provide access to additional dispersal pathways that are likely to aid transmission.

“…They are strongly associated with poverty causing a considerable health and economic impact especially when considering co-introduced and co-invading parasites [1,2]. Moreover, parasitic infections can be found worldwide and can be potentially introduced from endemic to non-endemic areas mainly due to human and animal population movements and climate change, resulting in their emergence and re-emergence [3,4].…”
