The Development of Fiddler Crabs (Uca Spp.) as a Comparative Model System for the Parasitic Dinoflagellate, Hematodinium Perezi and its Natural Host the Blue Crab, Callinectes Sapidus
Herein, I have completed several experiments which encompass developing fiddler crabs as a model system, as well as sentinel and temperature studies to investigate biotic and abiotic factors in parasite transmission. My studies show which factors prevent, delay, or accelerate transmission and progre...
