Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the invasive marine gastropod Crepidula fornicata may influence disease dynamics in ecosystems by analyzing limpet populations in South Wales for signs of disease and parasitism.
- Researchers found trematode-like parasites in about 1% of limpets, with instances of significant damage and cysts in their tissues.
- The identified trematodes belong to the Microphallidae family and suggest that despite previous beliefs, C. fornicata may serve as a host for these parasites and potentially interact with native species.
