Invaders interfere with native parasite–host interactions (2009, background): “As the effects of metacercarial infections are generally density dependent ( Fredensborg et al. 2004; Thieltges 2006), any reduction of parasite load is of benefit for the hosts.”
Trematode parasites of Otago Harbour (New Zealand) soft‐sediment intertidal ecosystems: Life cycles, ecological roles and DNA barcodes (2009, background): “To date, the red-billed gull Larus novaehollandiae has been confirmed as a definitive host (Fredensborg et al. 2004a), but it is likely that other shore birds also host this trematode. in some localities within Otago Harbour, such as Lower Portobello Bay (mid-harbour), up to two-thirds of snails…”
