“…Prevalence of S. solidus in the three-spined sticklebacks collected from a Gdynia Marina (Poland) was 94. 4% at 2008(Morozińska-Gogol, 2011. The reported prevalence of S. solidus was 54.2% from Puck Bay (Mačát et al, 2015).…”

This study was aimed to identify Schistocephalus solidus in three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus (Teleostei: Gasterosteidae) and to describe infection parameters and pathology. Three-spined stickleback specimens were collected between October 2019 to September 2020 in Gökpınar Spring (Dalaman River basin-Turkey). The highest elevation record of the common cestod parasite of three-spined stickleback has been found in this environment. Gross examination revealed that abdominal swelling was the most common finding. Cachexia and growth retartion were common in infected fishes. During the necropsy parasites were localized at the abdominal cavity. At the histopathological examination of the parasite, marked inflammatory reaction and fibrous tissue proliferation were observed. This study result showed that Schistocephalus solidus can cause marked pathological findings in infected threespined stickleback.

“…The infection rate in both Walby and Cornelius lakes was lower in young-of-year fish in 2019 compared to 2018. This is not surprising as there is strong evidence that parasite loads can vary substantially between years (Pennycuick, 1971 ; Heins et al ., 2010 , 2011 ; Heins and Baker, 2011 ; Morozińska-Gogol, 2011 ; Weber et al ., 2017 a ). Although the mechanisms behind these fluctuations are not known yet, it has been shown that high infection prevalence can result in a crash in population size of the stickleback host, causing a dramatically reduced transmission of S. solidus and hence a reduction of infections in the following years (Heins and Baker, 2011 ; Heins et al ., 2010 ).…”

“…Pennycuick ( 1971 ) found a similar pattern in Priddy Pool (Somerset, England), where over 78% of young-of-year stickleback were infected within months after hatching. Both of these studies only tracked individual populations, but we know that: (1) different freshwater populations of stickleback exhibit very different S. solidus loads (Pennycuick, 1971 ; Heins and Baker, 2003 , 2011 , 2014 ; Heins et al ., 2010 , 2011 ; Morozińska-Gogol, 2011 ; Weber et al ., 2017 a ), and (2) there can be strong variation in infection intensity within lakes between years (Pennycuick, 1971 ; Heins and Baker, 2011 ).…”

The timing and development of infections in a fish–cestode host–parasite system

The cestode Schistocephalus solidus is a common parasite in freshwater threespine stickleback populations, imposing strong fitness costs on their hosts. Given this, it is surprising how little is known about the timing and development of infections in natural stickleback populations. Previous work showed that young-of-year stickleback can get infected shortly after hatching. We extended this observation by comparing infection prevalence of young-of-year stickleback from 3 Alaskan populations (Walby, Cornelius and Wolf lakes) over 2 successive cohorts (2018/19 and 2019/20). We observed strong variation between sampling years (2018 vs 2019 vs 2020), stickleback age groups (young-of-year vs 1-year-old) and sampling populations.
