A molecular and epidemiological study of Grillotia (Cestoda: Trypanorhyncha) larval infection in Etmopterus spinax (Elasmobranchii: Squaliformes) in the Mediterranean Sea and Northeast Atlantic Ocean
Amongst other factors, topographic features can influence the genetic variability among populations of marine organisms. This applies to host species but also to their parasites, which are poorly studied regarding this aspect, as well as with regard to their use as bioindicators. In the present work...

Amongst other factors, topographic features can influence the genetic variability among populations of marine organisms.
