“…The species appears to be susceptible to a wide range of parasites in Europe (Ondračková et al ., 2021), though species richness and abundance is still considerably higher in its native range, with over 100 species recorded (Hoffman, 1999). Recently, several North American parasite species infecting pumpkinseed, including myxozoans (Goswami et al ., 2021), monogeneans (Havlátová et al ., 2015; Kvach et al ., 2018; Ondračková et al ., 2021), cestodes (Kvach et al ., 2020) and trematodes (Kvach et al ., 2017; Stoyanov et al ., 2017), have been reported in different European regions. While release from natural enemies, including parasites and pathogens (Keane & Crowley, 2002), is generally reported during the initial stages of a species' introduction, non‐native species often go on to acquire local parasites, although their numbers are usually still lower than those found in native species (Gendron et al ., 2012; Ondračková et al ., 2015).…”

In Poland, distribution of non‐native pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus (Centrarchidae) is strictly limited to the Oder river basin, where it was introduced in the early 20th century. Recently, several populations have been found in waterbodies adjacent to the Oder, particularly in its lower reaches. In this study, we compare the genetic relatedness of populations in the Oder basin with other European populations using nuclear (microsatellite) and mitochondrial (partial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I; cox1) markers. Microsatellite analysis indicated that four populations in the lower Oder form a separate cluster, while one in the middle Oder clustered with Danubian populations, from where probably having been introduced. Microsatellite data suggested that the lower Oder populations differ from other non‐native European populations, making it impossible to estimate the source of introduction. Nevertheless, analysis of cox1 indicated that Oder pumpkinseeds belong to the same haplotype as the vast majority of European populations. Parasitological examination confirmed the presence of two North American species, the monogenean Onchocleidus dispar and trematode Posthodiplostomum centrarchi, in the lower Oder, both previously unknown in the region. Fifteen other parasite species were acquired, including glochidia of invasive Sinanodonta woodiana. In the middle Oder, parasite infection was more limited. Fish from the Gryfino Canal, considered one of the most invasive populations in Europe, showed the highest parasite abundance and diversity, and the highest somatic condition and growth rate due to warm water released from the Dolna Odra power plant. Our results highlight significant differences in somatic condition and parasite infection in long‐established non‐native pumpkinseed populations in the same river system, reflecting mainly environmental conditions.

“…The species richness of co-introduced North American parasites was also generally low when compared to older European populations in France and Germany [ 42 ]. For example, five co-introduced parasite species, Actinocleidus oculatus (Mueller, 1934), Actinocleidus recurvatus Mizelle & Donahue, 1944, O. dispar , O. similis and P. centrarchi , showed high abundance in the Rhine basin in Germany [ 43 ], while the same species were observed in France accompanied by Cleidodiscus robustus Mueller, 1934, Gyrodactylus macrochiri Hoffman & Putz, 1964 and Proteocephalus ambloplitis (Leidy, 1887)[ 33 , 36 ]. Pumpkinseed from these regions, which represent the first area of European pumpkinseed introduction [ 82 ], exhibit high genetic diversity alongside their high North American parasite diversity [ 42 ].…”

“…This is due, in part, to new data on co-introduced species such as myxozoans [ 32 ], monogeneans (e.g. [ 6 , 33 – 35 ]), cestodes [ 36 ] and trematodes [ 37 , 38 ]. In addition, several studies have now documented, or summarised, original data on parasite communities for populations from Western, Central and Eastern Europe.…”

Purpose The aim of this study was the comparative analysis of the parasite communities of new populations of invasive pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus) in western Ukraine with pumpkinseed from Czechia, where populations have rapidly expanded over the last two decades. Methods Sampling took place at three localities in the western part of Ukraine (i.e. Dobrotvir Reservoir (Vistula basin), Burshtyn Reservoir (Dniester basin), Mynai Pond (Danube basin)) and four in Czechia (i.e. Oxbow D2, Heršpický Pond (Danube basin), and Kolín oxbow and Římov Reservoir (Elbe basin). Results In total, 11 parasite taxa were recorded in Ukraine and 17 in Czechia. Four species were co-introduced from North America with their host, i.e. the myxosporean Myxobolus dechtiari, the monogeneans Onchocleidus dispar and Onchocleidus similis, and metacercariae of a trematode Posthodiplostomum centrarchi. High dominance indices were related to a high abundance of co-introduced parasites, i.e. O. similis in Mynai pond and P. centrarchi in Dobrotvir Reservoir. Overall abundance of acquired parasites was generally low. Conclusion This study shows that parasite communities in recently established pumpkinseed populations in the western part of Ukraine and Czechia are less diverse than those established in Europe for decades. The generally low parasite load in these new populations may play an important role in their ability to successfully establish and create strong populations by providing a competitive advantage over local species.

“…Micropterus salmoides is now mainly found in the Iberian Peninsula, France and Italy [8], and its parasites were mostly studied in southern Europe. Researchers who showed interest in these species' parasites carried out their studies mostly in eastern Europe (16 articles, e.g., [48,[61][62][63][64]), followed by western (e.g., [49,[65][66][67]) and southern (e.g., [53,54,68]) Europe (Figure 4). Since its introduction, L. gibbosus spread successfully into adjacent water bodies and established populations throughout Europe [60].…”

The introduction of non-native freshwater fish is a primary cause of aquatic biodiversity loss at global scale. Such introductions have a severe impact on freshwater ecosystems in terms of competition, predation, habitat alteration, genetic pollution and transmission of diseases and parasites. A systematic review was conducted on the helminths parasites of freshwater fish in the context of species introduction and a total of 199 publications were retrieved between 1969 and November 2022. Several scenarios may arise when a new fish species arrive in a recipient area. Non-native fish hosts can co-introduce their parasites without transmitting them to native fish (e.g., the case of North American Centrarchidae and their Monogenea parasites). Another possible outcome is the transfer of these parasites to the native fish fauna (spillover, e.g., the cases of the Nematoda Anguillicola crassus Kuwahara, Niimi & Itagaki, 1974 and the Monogenea Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957). Reciprocally, non-native fish hosts may acquire parasites in their new distribution range whether these parasites are native or were previously introduced (e.g., the cases of Ponto-Caspian Gobiidae and the Chinese sleeper Perccottus glenii Dybowski, 1877). Acquired parasites can then be spilled back to the native fauna. This phenomenon is of particular interest when non-native fish hosts influence the dynamics of zoonotic parasites.
