Parasites alter host phenotype and may create a new ecological niche for snail hosts.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Jun 2006

Abstract excerpt

By modifying the behaviour and morphology of hosts, parasites may strongly impact host individuals, populations and communities. We examined the effects of a common trematode parasite on its snail host, Batillaria cumingi (Batillariidae). This widespread snail is usually the most abundant invertebrate in salt marshes and mudflats of the northeastern coast of Asia. More than half (52.6%, n=1360) of the snails in...
