Parasites, pathogens and commensals in the “low-impact” non-native amphipod host Gammarus roeselii
Abstract Background Whilst vastly understudied, pathogens of non-native species (NNS) are increasingly recognised as important threats to native wildlife. This study builds upon recent recommendations for improved screening for pathogens in NNS by focusing on populations of Gammarus roeselii in Choj...
