Seasonal variation in parasite infection patterns of marine fish species from the Northern Wadden Sea in relation to interannual temperature fluctuations

Marine environmental conditions are naturally changing throughout the year, affecting life cycles of hosts aswell as parasites. In particular,water temperature is positively correlatedwith the development ofmany parasites and pathogenic bacteria, increasing the risk of infection and diseases during summer. Interannual temperature fluctuations are likely to alter host?parasite interactions, which may result in profound impacts on sensitive ecosystems. […]

海洋环境条件随年度自然更迭，会影响宿主（host）与寄生虫（parasite）的生命周期。具体而言，水温与多数寄生虫及病原菌（pathogenic bacteria）的生长繁殖呈正相关，可提升夏季的感染与疾病发生风险。年际温度波动或会改变宿主-寄生虫的相互作用，进而对敏感生态系统造成深远影响。[…]
