Asociación del parasitismo por Profilicollis bullocki (Paleacanthocephala, Polymorphidae) con la conducta y la pigmentación de Emerita analoga (Anomura, Hippidae) en Chile
The intermediate host of the acanthocephalan Profilicollis bullocki in Chile is the mole crab Emerita analoga, a dominant species in sandy beaches, whereas the final hosts are marine birds. This parasite may affect the host phenotype because several studies about intermediate host-parasite systems w...
