Nice to see parasites making it to the shortlist of the Guardian’s invertebrate of the year competition! Let's all vote freaky Cymothoa exigua to the top!!
tinyurl.com/2vru7c54
‘Unique and important’: Tongue-biting louse is wonderfully gruesome
The inventive parasite Cymothoa exigua can survive for years by taking over a fish’s tongue and keeping its host alive

My first contribution to aquatic parasitology! 🤓🙌 We propose a new method using fish smoothies for DNA-based ID & detection of fish parasites 🤯🐟🦠 still room for improvement, but the method is highly comparable with morphological ID; 🔜 #metabarcoding
➡️Check out the preprint: doi.org/10.21203/rs....
A new method for rapid detection and identification of fish parasites through whole-fish homogenization
Background: The global biodiversity crisis, driven by anthropogenic activities, signals the onset of the sixth mass extinction in Earth’s history. The biodiversity decline is particularly evident in f...

#IMPACT is a @biodiversaplus.bsky.social project that brings together parasite ecologists and social scientists across Europe.

We will break down barriers to parasites in national and international biodiversity management and conservation strategies.

Parasite conservation sounds like a counterintuitive idea, but actually there are lots of reasons why this is important for the long term sustainability of biodiversity and ecosystem processes. #parasitology #ticks #ectoparasite 🪱🧪🌍
