“…Groupers exhibited a depauperate ensemble of parasite species in Hawaiian waters, C. argus having lost all the parasites common in their native range (Vignon et al 2009a). In contrast, several parasite species have been introduced with Polynesian snappers (Vignon et al 2009b), but fortunately the absence of co-evolved hosts in the Hawaiian islands prevented parasite transfer from non-indigenous to native fish. Interestingly, very few local parasites have been acquired in Hawaiian waters by non-indigenous snappers and groupers (Vignon et al 2009a, b).…”

Invasive species provide unique and useful systems by which to examine various ecological and evolutionary issues, both in terms of the effects on native environments and the subsequent evolutionary impacts. While biological invasions are an increasing agent of change in aquatic systems, alien species also act as vectors for new parasites and diseases. To date, colonizations by hosts and parasites have not been treated and reviewed together, although both are usually interwoven in various ways and may have unpredictable negative consequences. Fish are widely introduced worldwide and are convenient organisms to study parasites and diseases. We report a global overview of fish invasions with associated parasitological data. Data available on marine and freshwater are in sharp contrast. While parasites and diseases of inland freshwater fish, ornamental, reared and anadromous fish species are well documented, leading to the emergence of several evolutionary hypotheses in freshwater ecosystems during the last decade, the transfer of such organisms are virtually unexplored in marine ecosystems. The paucity of information available on the parasites of introduced marine fish reflects the paucity of information currently available on parasites of non-indigenous species in marine ecosystems. However, such information is crucial as it can allow estimations of the extent to which freshwater epidemiology/evolution can be directly transferred to marine systems, providing guidelines for adapting freshwater control to the marine environment.

“…The practice may cause a series of consequences such as the loss of biodiversity (Gherardi, 2010), trophic changes (Pinto-Coelho et al, 2008), the introduction of parasites (Vignon et al, 2009), genetic deterioration caused by hybridization (Salmenkova, 2008), and socioeconomic effects. Consequently, native species are greatly affected, with a possible loss of rare alleles and a reduction in heterozygosity (Carvalho and Cross, 1998).…”

ABSTRACT. The genetic diversity of invasive and native populations of Plagioscion squamosissimus (Heckel, 1840) from the Paraná, Parnaiba and Araguaia-Tocantins river basins was assessed by using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Genetic data confirmed the hypothesis of low genetic variability within and among P. squamosissimus populations introduced in the upper Paraná River basin, and indicated that they likely originated from a common ancestor. Moreover, the data demonstrated that, in agreement with available historical records, the P. squamosissimus populations established in the Paraná River basin were derived from a population native to the Parnaíba River basin. The genetic 14315 Genetic variability in P. squamosissimus ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br Genetics and Molecular Research 14 (4): 14314-14324 (2015) data presented here are of potential future application for the management of the invasive P. squamosissimus populations and for the preservation of the genetic legacy of native fish.

“…suitable hosts or vectors to complete their life cycle in the new environment (Blakeslee et al, 2013;Torchin et al, 2001) or the co-introduced parasites might suffer from local environmental conditions or predators (e.g., cleaner fish; Hatcher et al, 2012;Vignon et al, 2009a). Finally, due to the mechanisms above, the propagule pressure (i.e., the number of individuals introduced into a new environment) of any surviving hosts and/or parasites after the translocation phase may be very low, resulting in a too low density for the introduced parasite to establish (Torchin et al, 2001;Hatcher et al, 2012).…”

“…Moreover, parasites and/or infected hosts might die during transportation, reducing the likelihood of establishment. In addition, introduced aquaculture organisms can be treated with an anti-parasite treatment (e.g., copper sulphate to eliminate monogeneans of fish, Vignon et al, 2009a) before translocation to the new environments (Mitchell and Power, 2003) and translocations of stocks usually select only healthy individuals, reducing the possibility of translocating parasites (Colautti et al, 2004). Second, once infected hosts are translocated, their parasites may not find Fig.…”

“…For example, two snapper species (Lutjanus spp.) that were translocated from French Polynesia to the Hawaiian Islands in the 1950s to enhance local fisheries (Vignon et al, 2009a;Vignon and Sasal, 2010) have co-introduced six monogenean species that have not (yet) infected native hosts (Vignon et al, 2009a). Another example is the invasive Japanese mud snail, B. attramentaria (=cumingi) that co-introduced the trematode Cercaria batillariae to the Pacific coast of North America.…”

a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f oWorldwide, marine and coastal ecosystems are heavily invaded by introduced species and the potential role of parasites in the success and impact of marine invasions has been increasingly recognized. In this review, we link recent theoretical developments in invasion ecology with empirical studies from marine ecosystems in order to provide a conceptual framework for studying the role of parasites and their hosts in marine invasions. Based on an extensive literature search, we identified six mechanisms in which invaders directly or indirectly affect parasite and host populations and communities: I) invaders can lose some or all of their parasites during the invasion process (parasite release or reduction), often causing a competitive advantage over native species; II) invaders can also act as a host for native parasites, which may indirectly amplify the parasite load of native hosts (parasite spillback); III) invaders can also be parasites themselves and be introduced without needing co-introduction of the host (introduction of free-living infective stages); IV) alternatively, parasites may be introduced together with their hosts (parasite co-introduction with host); V) consequently, these co-introduced parasites can sometimes also infect native hosts (parasite spillover); and VI) invasive species may be neither a host nor a parasite, but nevertheless affect native parasite host interactions by interfering with parasite transmission (transmission interference). We discuss the ecological and evolutionary implications of each of these mechanisms and generally note several substantial effects on natural communities and ecosystems via i) mass mortalities of native populations creating strong selection gradients, ii) indirect changes in species interactions within communities and iii) trophic cascading and knock-on effects in food webs that may affect ecosystem function and services. Our review demonstrates a wide range of ecological and evolutionary implications of marine invasions for parasite-host interactions and suggests that parasite-mediated impacts should be integrated in assessing the risks and consequences of biological invasions.
