Host life history influences parasite encystment location and tolerance in tadpoles
Meeting Abstract P3.1 Sunday, Jan. 6 Host life history influences parasite encystment location and tolerance in tadpoles SEARS, BF*; ROHR, JR; Univ. of South Florida; Univ. of South Florida bsears@mail.usf.edu Larval trematodes, called cercariae, frequently parasitize anuran tadpoles that can resist or tolerate these infections. We have previously demonstrated that encystment location of cercariae can be affected […]
