“…The shape, size, absence of inclusions, and parasitic content of the cylinder coprolite MUPA-LH28719a are fully congruent with the presence of Ascarid sp. eggs, which are frequently found in Mesozoic crocodyliform coprolites 6 , 60 , as well as in extant members of the Crocodylia clade 31 , 43 , 44 . Thus, the anisakid lifecycle started with an infected crocodyliform (Fig.…”

“…These types of coprolites are characterized by a matrix generally flacking inclusions that, together with the coprolite diameter, is usually interpreted as being produced by a reptile, likely an archosaur crocodylomorph 12 . The parasites found here were identified based on our broad teaching and research experience, as well as the use of parasitology atlases, publications, and books 28 – 31 .…”

The exceptional fossil site of Las Hoyas (upper Barremian, Cuenca, Spain) yields abundant small to medium vertebrate coprolites, hindering the search for parasites. We studied the contents of 29 coprolites that were previously classified into distinct morphotypes. Several parasitic eggs were retrieved from two of these coprolites, confirming the second record of digenea trematode eggs and nematode (ascaridid) eggs from an Early Cretaceous locality. The cylindrical coprolite containing anisakid eggs was likely produced by a crocodylomorph as the parasite host, whereas the bump-headed lace coprolite indicates the role of a fish as an intermediary or definitive host of the trematodes and ascaridids. These trace and body fossils show that the Las Hoyas 126–129 Ma lacustrine ecosystem documents the early connection between basal Gonorynchiformes fish and digenetic trematodes.

“…In Australia, crocodile farming is a multi-million dollar industry [53] and this is also practiced in several other countries. Parasitic infections reported in crocodiles include Acanthocephala, Hirudinea, nematodes, Digenea, Cestoda, and Pentastomidae [107][108][109][110]. A checklist of host-parasite interactions for crocodilians has been published [111].…”

Parasites are very diverse and common in both natural populations and in stocks kept in aquacultural facilities. For most cultured species, there are important bacteria and viruses causing diseases, but eukaryotic parasites are also very important. We review the various combinations of aquacultured species and eukaryotic parasitic groups and discuss other problems associated with aquaculture such as eutrophication, zoonotic species, and invasive species, and we conclude that further development of aquaculture in a sustainable manner must include a holistic approach (One Health) where many factors (e.g., human health, food safety, animal health and welfare, environmental and biodiversity protection and marketability mechanisms, etc.) are considered.
