Biological invasions and the dynamics of endemic diseases in freshwater ecosystems (2011, background): “Other studies have recently provided evidence that invasive snails are often not suitable hosts for the trematode infective stages they encounter, which can lead, at least in mesocosm studies, to a dilution of infection for native snail species (Kopp & Jokela, 2007; Genner, Michel & Todd, 2008).”
Invaders interfere with native parasite–host interactions (2009, background): “It is likely that invaders have their share in dilution effects in native parasite–hosts systems but so far only limited evidence is available (Bartoli and Boudouresque 1997; Kopp and Jokela 2007 ).”
Effects of Host Diversity on Infectious Disease (2012, background): “Introductions of a non-native freshwater snail (L. stagnalis) and non-native brown trout (Salmo trutta) reduced prevalence of infection of native snails with trematode parasites (Kopp & Jokela 2007) and of native fishes with several helminth parasites (Kelly et al. 2009a), respectively.”

(2009, unknown): “Similar results involving snail-miracidia infections have been reported by Chernin (1968) , Mone and Combes (1986) , and Kopp and Jokela (2007) .”
