Spread of an introduced parasite across the Hawaiian archipelago independent of its introduced host
FRESHWATER BIOLOGY, 60(2), 311–322.
author keywords: Awaous stamineus; biological invasions; enemy addition; parasite; Camallanus cotti
TL;DR:
It is shown that the effects of ‘enemy addition’ can extend beyond the range of non-native hosts through the independent spread ofNon-native parasites, suggesting that control of non -native hosts is not sufficient to halt the spread of introduced parasites.
