For Neoechinorhynchus emydis, an additional snail paratenic host is part of its life cycle. However, how snails become infected and whether other species of Neoechinorhynchus can be found in snails remains unclear. This study was conducted to understand the survival, development, and host use of 4 species of turtle acanthocephalans (Neoechinorhynchus chrysemydis, N. emydis, Neoechinorhynchus emyditoides, and Neoechinorhynchus pseudemydis) in their intermediate, paratenic, and definitive hosts. Using eggs recovered from adult acanthocephalans from naturally infected turtle hosts in Oklahoma, experimental infections were conducted in 2 species of ostracods and 1 species of freshwater snail. Ionomes also were generated for these acanthocephalans and their turtle definitive hosts to better understand resource competition. Upon ingestion by ostracods, eggs of all 4 species of acanthocephalans hatched in both ostracod species. However, no further acanthocephalan development occurred in Cypridopsis sp. ostracods, whereas all 4 acanthocephalan species grew and developed into infective juveniles over 28-32 days in Physocypria sp. ostracods. Of the 4 species of acanthocephalans, N. emydis grew faster early in ostracods and was the only species to survive and establish in snail hosts. This finding was supported by the observation of proboscis remnants in the feces of snails that ingested ostracods infected with N. chrysemydis, N. emyditoides, and N. pseudemydis. In contrast, when snails were exposed to eggs of all 4 acanthocephalan species, eggs were passed in the feces, resulting in no infections. The overall ionomic composition of adult acanthocephalans and their turtle hosts suggested that the hosts and parasites share host resources. However, specific elemental differences indicated that turtle acanthocephalans can accumulate heavy metals at concentrations higher than those in their hosts. Results of this study support previous field observations and hypotheses that (1) Physocypria sp. ostracods serve as intermediate hosts for N. chrysemydis, N. emydis, N. emyditoides, and N. pseudemydis; (2) N. emydis uses snail paratenic hosts, but snails are a non-viable route of transmission to turtles for N. chrysemydis, N. emyditoides, and N. pseudemydis; and (3) as adults, these 4 acanthocephalan species utilize their turtle definitive hosts similarly in terms of ionomic composition.

Negative thigmotaxis may facilitate the release of infusoriform embryos from the renal appendages.

Waterfowl are an ecologically and economically important group of hosts that have been underrepresented in studies of haemosporidians. Diving ducks have unique life history traits, and morphological, behavioral, and dietary differences separate them from more common dabbling ducks. Greater scaup (Aythya marila) and lesser scaup (Aythya affinis) are closely related diving ducks with declining population trends in North America. To better understand the diversity of haemosporidians within diving ducks and factors related to host infections in scaup, we surveyed 82 hunter-donated waterfowl from 8 species of divers, sea ducks, and dabblers from Green Bay, Wisconsin from 2019 to 2021. We used molecular detection methods and phylogenetic and statistical analyses to describe the diversity, host associations, and prevalence of haemosporidians. We detected 14 unique genetic lineages of haemosporidians, including 4 novel lineages. We identified at least 1 lineage of haemosporidian in each of the 8 host species of divers, sea ducks, and dabblers examined. Lesser scaup had more diverse haemosporidian communities than did greater scaup, but lineages showed no clustering among these hosts when incorporated in phylogenetic analyses with lineages from other Nearctic waterfowl. Female lesser scaup had the highest infection prevalence, but there was no effect of host age or year of sampling. Our findings underscore the importance of species and sex differences that could lead to a higher risk of infections. Our results also fill an important geographical sampling gap for haemosporidians along a key migratory route.
