Article Synopsis
- A year-round survey of American eels in South Carolina found a 58% overall prevalence of the nematode parasite Anguillicoloides crassus, with adult infections occurring in 45% of sampled eels.
- The mean intensity of adult worms was 2.3 per infected eel, while larval infections had a prevalence of 29% and a mean intensity of 2.4.
- Infection levels varied by locality and season but were generally higher than previous reports for South Carolina, indicating potential ecological changes or differences in host availability.
