Infections of the three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus L., with the plerocercoid larvae of Schistocephalus solidus (Müller, 1776), with special reference to pathological effects.
C. Arme,R. Wynne Owen +1 more
TL;DR: Infections are described of Gasterosteus aculeatus in a pond at Leeds with the plerocercoid larvae of Schistocephalus solidus with some effects of parasitization on the host include gross distension of the body, reduction of liver weight, reduction in packed cell volume of erythrocytes and delay in oocyte maturation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on the biology of Protopolystoma xenopodis (Monogenoidea): the oncomiracidium and life-cycle
R. C. Tinsley,R. Wynne Owen +1 more
TL;DR: Comparison of Protopolystoma with Polystoma, Diplorchis and Oculotrema reveals that whilst the ciliary cell patterns are clearly related there are important differences in both cell number and disposition at the inter-generic level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observations on a tissue response within the body cavity of fish infected with the plerocercoid larvae of Ligula intestinalis (L.) (Cestoda: Pseudophyllidea)
C. Arme,R. Wynne Owen +1 more
TL;DR: Infection of certain species of cyprinid fish with the plerocercoid larva of the cestode Ligula intestinalis is accompanied by a host tissue response and a case of calcification is described in a single infected rudd Scardinius erythrophthalmus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Helminth infection of the starling (sturnus vulgaris l.) in northern england
R. Wynne Owen,R. T. Pemberton +1 more
TL;DR: The numbers of parasite species and individuals appear to be related to the incidence of infection; when the incidence is low infected birds always harbour small numbers of parasites; when it is high a large proportion of birds carry heavy or very heavy infections.
