In this study we investigated how environmental variability, host traits, and pollutant exposure affect the fitness and infection patterns of acanthocephalan parasites in chub (<em>Squalius cephalus</em>). Using a mesocosm approach, we assessed parasite infection intensity, size, and reproductive traits in relation to host size, body condition, site of capture, and seasonality, acknowledging that natural infections introduce variability. Moreover, we experimentally exposed chub to ubiquitous freshwater contaminants, including the pesticide imidacloprid, the pharmaceutical compounds paracetamol and diclofenac, and the herbicide S-metolachlor, at environmentally relevant concentrations. Our results indicate that host size was a key driver of parasite infection intensity. Parasite size increased over time but was independent of host condition and parasite density. While larger parasites produced more eggs, overall reproductive output declined in fish with better body condition and over time. Pollutant exposure yielded complex effects: chronic imidacloprid exposure (15 ng·g<sup>−1</sup>) reduced parasite size, while acute paracetamol exposure (16 μg·g<sup>−1</sup>) resulted in larger parasites but completely inhibited egg production. Other tested pollutants had no significant effects.

The bolus method may be a robust test of whether high levels of vaccine-induced immunity translate to protection against a large pathogen insult, whereas the trickle infection method may be more appropriate to test the impacts of an exposure-induced anamnestic response. In the work presented here, three different models of testing gastrointestinal nematode vaccine efficacy were compared. Lambs (4–5 months old) were vaccinated with the excretory/secretory products collected from <em>ex-vivo Teladorsagia circumcincta</em> fourth stage larvae (L4ESP) and then challenged with a bolus of 5,000 iL3 or with a trickle infection where 2,000 iL3 were administered 3 times per week for 4 weeks (truncated trickle) or continuously challenged for 9 weeks (trickle) until post-mortem. Monitoring of faecal egg counts following challenge demonstrated that there was no significant impact of vaccination on cumulative faecal egg count (cFEC) following bolus challenge but, during the period of regular ingestion of iL3 in both trickle challenge models, statistically-significant reductions in the cFEC [(40–46 % reduction in mean cFEC (<em>P</em> < 0.05); 68–71 % reduction in median cFEC)] were observed. Shortly after cessation of the iL3 challenge in the truncated trickle challenge group, this protective effect of the vaccine on cFEC was lost whereas vaccine efficacy was maintained in the model with continued regular ingestion of iL3 (trickle challenge model, which most accurately reflect the parasite challenge in a field situation).

Consequently, well-established blood-stage vaccine candidates, such as MSP1, AMA1, EBA175, Rh5, CyRPA, and Ripr, have been discovered by research targeting the early invasion phases. Recently, we identified that Liver Stage Antigen 3 (LSA3) is a merozoite dense granule protein and a novel blood-stage vaccine candidate, given that antigen-specific antibodies inhibit parasite growth by 24%. However, the precise role of LSA3 in RBC invasion remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the function of LSA3 during merozoite invasion of RBCs. In the late-invasion phase, LSA3 localized to the posterior end of invading wild-type merozoites accessible to anti-LSA3 antibodies in the culture medium. <em>In vitro</em> cultured <em>lsa3</em> knockout parasites (Δ<em>LSA3</em>) exhibited slowed parasite growth. Time-lapse imaging revealed that knockout of <em>lsa3</em> resulted in a 65% reduction in normal invasion completion relative to the wild-type. Furthermore, Δ<em>LSA3</em> parasites displayed a high frequency of accolé-form: aberrant morphology, with a protruding convex-shaped ring-stage just beneath the RBC membrane, following successful internalization into RBCs.
