B. Koubkova et V. Barus, The tubenose goby (Proterorhinus marmoratus : Perciformes) as paratenic host of the nematode Anguillicola crassus (Dracunculoidea), HELMINTHOL, 37(1), 2000, pp. 43-45
The tubenose goby (Proterorhinus marmoratus) was found as a new paratenic h
ost of the Anguillicola crassus infective larvae in the Czech Republic. The
values of prevalence (6.10%), intensity of infection (1-4 larvae), and abu
ndance (0.116) are extremely low. A description of the larvae and documenta
tion of determining features are added. The cau-ses of low infections of th
is paratenic host are discussed.
