The seal louse (Echinophthirius horridus) in the Dutch Wadden Sea: investigation of vector-borne pathogens

2021-01-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Belonging to the anopluran family Echinophthiriidae, Echinophthirius horridus , the seal louse, has been reported to parasitize a broad range of representatives of phocid seals. So far, only few studies focused on vector function of echinophthiriid lice and knowledge on their role in pathogen transmission is still scarce. The current study aims to investigate the possible vector role of E. ho...
