Title: | Trematode parasites of Otago Harbour (New Zealand) soft-sediment intertidal ecosystems: life cycles, ecological roles and DNA barcodes | Contributor(s): | Leung, Tommy (author); Donald, Kirsten M (author); Keeney, Devon B (author); Koehler, Anson V (author); Peoples, Robert C (author); Poulin, Robert (author) | Publication Date: | 2009 | DOI: | 10.1080/00288330909510044 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/8857 | Abstract: | Parasites, in particular trematodes (Platyhelminthes: Digenea), play major roles in the population dynamics and community structure of invertebrates on soft-sediment mudflats. Here, we provide a list of the 20 trematode species currently known to infect molluscs, crustaceans and polychaetes from Otago Harbour (New Zealand) soft-sediment intertidal areas, as well as information on their transmission modes, life cycles, and known ecological impacts. Several of the host-parasite species combinations recorded here are reported for the first time. We also provide DNA barcodes, based on sequences of the cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) gene, for 19 of the 20 trematode species, to facilitate future identification of these parasites in marine ecological studies. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 43(4), p. 857-865 | Publisher: | Taylor & Francis Asia Pacific | Place of Publication: | Singapore | ISSN: | 1175-8805 0028-8330 |
