Talk:Bothriocephalus acheilognathi

Infections within Carassius carassius
On 7th December 2009 Emphemeralsun added the text "The discovery of the tapeworm’s substantial infections within the crucian carp (Carassius carassius) population in the UK is of particular concern because there have not been any known natural tapeworm parasites of these crucian carp. A plausible cause may be that the crucian carp have limited immunological defenses against this parasite." but I cannot find this in the referenced papers. Please could the author tell me where it came from? Thanks 194.80.66.254 (talk) 14:48, 5 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not the author. I've attempted to clean up the referencing for the article (and added a few bits as well), but I do think the last portion was added later. I can't find it in the cited sources either, nor can I find any studies online on the effects of introduced Bothriocephalus acheilognathi on British populations of Carassius carassius -- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  18:52, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

 * I've also added a tag on it in the meantime.--  O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  19:47, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
