Infection by parasites with complex life cycles such as trematodes depends on many environmental factors which may result in a time-lag between host biomass fluctuations and parasite density in hosts. A cockle (marine bivalve, second intermediate host) population and its associated parasite community were monitored over 15 years. A time-shift correlation analysis suggests that trematode abundance in cockles responds to cockle biomass after a long delay (8 year time-lag). Thus, these parasites can sustainably support a deficit of their intermediate host.< Leer menos
