    • Development of 14 microsatellite markers for zoonotic tapeworm dibothriocephalus dendriticus (Cestoda: Diphyllobothriidea) 

      Bazsalovicsová, Eva; Minárik, Gabriel; Šoltys, Katarína; Radačovská, Alžbeta; Kuhn, Jesper Andreas; Karlsbakk, Egil; Skírnisson, Karl; Králová-Hromadová, Ivica (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-12)
      <i>Dibothriocephalus dendriticus</i> is one of the causative agents of the fish-borne zoonosis diphyllobothriosis. Polymorphic microsatellite markers were originally developed for future genetic studies using microsatellite library screening and next-generation sequencing (NGS). Out of 128 microsatellite candidates selected after NGS analysis, 126 yielded PCR products of the expected size. A declared ...

    • High parasite diversity in the amphipod Gammarus lacustris in a subarctic lake 

      Shaw, Jenny Carolyn; Henriksen, Eirik Haugstvedt; Knudsen, Rune; Kuhn, Jesper Andreas; Kuris, Armand M.; Lafferty, Kevin D.; Siwertsson, Anna; Soldánová, Miroslava; Amundsen, Per-Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-05)
      Amphipods are often key species in aquatic food webs due to their functional roles in the ecosystem and as intermediate hosts for trophically transmitted parasites. Amphipods can also host many parasite species, yet few studies address the entire parasite community of a gammarid population, precluding a more dynamic understanding of the food web. We set out to identify and quantify the parasite ...

    • Parasite communities of two three-spined stickleback populations in subarctic Norway—effects of a small spatial-scale host introduction 

      Kuhn, Jesper Andreas; Kristoffersen, Roar; Knudsen, Rune; Jakobsen, Jonas; Marcogliese, D. J.; Locke, S. A.; Primicerio, Raul; Amundsen, Per-Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-01-30)
      We compared metazoan parasite communities of an introduced three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) population with the nearby source population in northern Norway to study differences and clarify if factors controlling parasite dispersal act on a small spatialscale. The two component communities were highly similar. All parasite taxa found in the source population also occurred in the ...

    • Spatial and temporal variations in parasite communities of freshwater fish in the subarctic 

      Kuhn, Jesper Andreas (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2015-11-03)
      Parasite communities are complicated systems believed to be affected by multiple ecological and environmental factors, both in time and space. These communities might be disrupted by anthropogenic host introductions which unfortunately appear to be a common practice e.g. in freshwater fish management. By addressing parasite occurrences in three of the most common freshwater fish species in subarctic ...
