Do brook charr ( Salvelinus fontinalis ) from insular Newfoundland have different parasites than their mainland counterparts?
Based on the published literature, comparison of the metazoan parasite faunas of brook char (Salvelinus fontinalis) from freshwater localities in northeastern North America reveals that hosts in insular Newfoundland have fewer parasite species recorded from them. Of 45 parasite species or taxa, only...
