“…Each parasiteexposed fish received two individual parasites each from lake and stream origin to control for potential local (co)adaptation (33,34). Gyrodactylus reproduces on the fish, is transmitted directly between fish hosts, and can affect host condition and fitness (35). Each of the eight factorial combinations of parasite exposure, host ecotype, and nutrient level was replicated five times.…”

Host resistance to parasites is a rapidly evolving trait that can influence how hosts modify ecosystems. Eco-evolutionary feedbacks may develop if the ecosystem effects of host resistance influence selection on subsequent host generations. In a mesocosm experiment, using a recently diverged (<100 generations) pair of lake and stream three-spined sticklebacks, we tested how experimental exposure to a common fish parasite (Gyrodactylus spp.) affects interactions between hosts and their ecosystems in two environmental conditions (low and high nutrients). In both environments, we found that stream sticklebacks were more resistant to Gyrodactylus and had different gene expression profiles than lake sticklebacks. This differential infection led to contrasting effects of sticklebacks on a broad range of ecosystem properties, including zooplankton community structure and nutrient cycling. These ecosystem modifications affected the survival, body condition, and gene expression profiles of a subsequent fish generation. In particular, lake juvenile fish suffered increased mortality in ecosystems previously modified by lake adults, whereas stream fish showed decreased body condition in stream fish-modified ecosystems. Parasites reinforced selection against lake juveniles in lake fish-modified ecosystems, but only under oligotrophic conditions. Overall, our results highlight the overlapping timescales and the interplay of host-parasite and hostecosystem interactions. We provide experimental evidence that parasites influence host-mediated effects on ecosystems and, thereby, change the likelihood and strength of eco-evolutionary feedbacks.eco-evolutionary dynamics | three-spined stickleback | host-parasite interaction | Gyrodactylus | eutrophication

“…The importance of Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957 is demonstrated by the heavy losses that this monogenean has caused over the last thirty years in parr and smolt stages of wild Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.), principally throughout Norway (Johnsen et al, 1999;Bakke et al, 2007). Apart from being a parasite of Atlantic salmon, G.…”

“…The fi rst species of the genus Afrogyrodactylus, Afrogyrodactylus characinis Paperna, 1968, was described from Lake Volta (Paperna, 1968), however a decade later, this genus was synonymised with Gyrodactylus (see Paperna, 1979). Recently, the genus Afrogyrodactylus was revised and brought out of synonymy (Přikrylová & Luus-Powell, 2014), confi rming the suggestions of Bakke et al (2007) that the genus is valid based on its distinctive morphological features. Moreover, the fi rst molecular data on Afrogyrodactylus irrefutably confi rmed the validity of the genus (Přikrylová et al, 2013).…”

SummaryThe monogenean, Afrogyrodactylus ardae sp. n., is described from the African tetra, Rhadbalestes septentrionalis (Characiformes: Alestidae), collected from the Niokolo Koba and Gambie Rivers in the Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal during 2008. The newly described species can be differentiated from three known species of the genus based on the dimensions of its opisthaptoral hard parts, having the smallest ones, and based on the shape of the marginal hooks sickle. The present fi nding represents a new host record for the genus Afrogyrodactylus.
