Distribution des populations d'Artemia et de leur parasite Flamingolepis liguloides (Cestode, Cyclophyllidea), dans les salins du littoral méditerranéen français

摘要: The occurrence of the cysticercoid stage bird tapeworm Flamingolepis liguloides (Cestoda, Cyclophyllidea) was studied across salt marshes French Mediterranean coast. It observed in 11 populations intermediate host Artemia (Crustacea, Anostraca) and investigated. A relationship between prevalence parasite population density flamingoes on sites is shown by results. Parasitism infected increases with size Artemia. Cysticercoids are found thorax juvenile Artemia, whereas they packed abdomen adults. During growth localisation parasites related to allometric changes thorax/abdomen proportion. In populations, up 22.8% red coloured present an altered behaviour. These physiological ethological discussed terms adaptive strategy parasite.
