Parasitism and phenotypic change in colonial hosts.

Parasitology - 1 Sept 2013

Hartikainen Hanna, Fontes Inês, Okamura Beth

Abstract excerpt

Changes in host phenotype are often attributed to manipulation that enables parasites to complete trophic transmission cycles. We characterized changes in host phenotype in a colonial host–endoparasite system that lacks trophic transmission (the freshwater bryozoan Fredericella sultana and myxozoan parasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae). We show that parasitism exerts opposing phenotypic effects at the colony...
