Gastrointestinal helminths of King penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus) at Crozet Archipelago
International audience Communities of helminths are known to be related to feeding behaviors of hosts. While climate change and overWshing can impact food availability for Antarctic piscivorous predators, knowledge about infectious and parasitic diseases among Antarctic species is scarce or fragment...
