Metapopulation Structure of Two Species of Pikeworm (, Cestoda) Parasitizing the Postglacial Fish Community in an Oligotrophic Lake.

In the present study, we estimated the levels of infestation of the main fish species that are hosts for two species: and . The prevalence of and infestations in the intestine of their definitive host-pike was similar (71.0% and 77.

Trophic diversification and parasitic invasion as ecological niche modulators for gut microbiota of whitefish.

Introduction: The impact of parasites on gut microbiota of the host is well documented, but the role of the relationship between the parasite and the host in the formation of the microbiota is poorly understood. This study has focused on the influence that trophic behavior and resulting parasitism has on the structure of the microbiome.

Methods: Using 16S amplicon sequencing and newly developed methodological approaches, we characterize the gut microbiota of the sympatric pair of whitefish complex and the associated microbiota of cestodes parasitizing their intestine.
