“…The prevalence of Neochasmus observed in various samples of Etheostoma nigrum in our study (45% to 78%) was comparable to that reported by Voth and Larson (1968) and by Woods (1971) (Table 1) however, the prevalence in Perca flavescens reported by Carney and Dick (2000) was much higher. This is due partly to the fact that our observations were limited to the eyes and orbits of young-ofthe-year and 1+ cohorts whereas Carney and Dick (2000) examined the entire fish and their sample included older fish.…”

“…Specimens have also been reported from the body musculature of several species of fishes (e.g. Paperna 1964, Voth and Larson 1968, Noble 1970, Woods 1971, Muzzall and Peebles 1987, Peters in Hoffman 1999, Walker in Hoffman 1999, Carney and Dick 2000. The life cycle of Neochasmus is unknown but, as fish serve as the second intermediate hosts in the life cycles of other cryptogonimids, reports of specimens in the flesh of fish are consistent with a three-host life cycle reported for other members of the family.…”

Abstract. Seven species of fishes, Catostomus commersonii (Lacépède), Etheostoma nigrum Rafinesque, Micropterus dolomieu Lacépède, Notemigonus crysoleucas (Mitchill), Notropis hudsonius (Clinton), Perca flavescens (Mitchill), and Percina caprodes (Rafinesque) from the St. Lawrence River, Quebec, Canada, were found infected with progenetic specimens of Neochasmus spp. in the orbits and/or the body musculature. Worms displayed varying degrees of maturation. Eggs occupied the entirety of the worm in late stages of development and persisted as distinct clusters in situ after worm death. Populations of parasites were studied monthly in E. nigrum from one site between May and October in order to follow parasite recruitment, development and maturation. Recruitment of parasites was observed in young-of-the-year fish

“…The main source of our data is the detailed surveys published by Bangham and his colleagues (Bangham & Hunter 1939;Bangham 1940Bangham , 1941Bangham , 1946Bangham , 1951Bangham , 1955Bangham & Venard 1946;Bangham & Adams 1954), together with a few studies by other authors made in Canada or in the adjacent Unites States (Woods 1971;Dechtiar 1972;Muzzall 1982Muzzall , 1984. We have used only publications in the latter category, in which we are satisfied that all helminths have been sought, and would have been recorded if present, which typically list the helminths from all species of host collected from a given locality.…”

SUMMARY(1) This paper describes and analyses the mean number of parasitic helminth species per host individual among Canadian freshwater fish.(2) Helminth diversity varies among host species.(3) The diversities of different taxa of helminths are correlated both within and among host species.(4) Helminth diversity is positively correlated with host size, longevity, diet and geographical range. Size (or longevity) produces the strongest correlations; when the effect of size is removed, only diet remains correlated with helminth diversity. Size and diet together explain about 40% of variance in helminth diversity among host species; the model is most successful for cestodes, where about 60% of the variance is explained.(5) Most of the ecological covariance of helminth diversity is displayed at rather high taxonomic levels, perhaps because of lag between host evolution and parasite adaptation.

“…However, these species specialize in exploiting copepods as intermediate hosts, as opposed to annelids (Bangham 1925, Essex 1927, Hunter 1928, 1930, Hunter and Hunter 1929, Larsh 1941, Befus and Freeman 1973, Stromberg and Crites 1974, Brandt et al 1981, Scholz 1997. All of these cestodes have been reported in multiple locations throughout North America, and they appear to be generalist parasites in habitat and in host fish species (Hare 1943, Bangham and Vernard 1946, Morrison 1957, Wilson 1957, Harms 1960, Anthony 1963, Becker 1967, Spall 1968, Becker and Houghton 1969, Woods 1971, Rubertone and Hall 1975, Baker and Crites 1976, Amin 1978, 1991, Sutherland and Holloway 1979, McReynolds and Webster 1980, Williams and Sutherland 1981, Hoffnagle et al 1990, McDonald and Margolis 1995, Amin and Minckley 1996, Hoffman 1999, Scholz et al 2001, Szmygiel and Reyda 2010, McAllister and Bursey 2011, Rosas-Valdez and Perez-Ponce de Leon 2011, Scholz et al 2011.
