dc.descriptionIn Mar Chiquita coastal lagoon (Argentina), the reefs of the invasive polychaete Ficopomatus enigmaticus (Serpulidae) serve as concentration areas for invertebrates and vertebrates and as potential foci of parasite transmission (mainly digeneans). To analyze the role of F. enigmaticus as facilitator of parasite transmission, and to evaluate the influence of the habitats selected by two species of cochliopid snails (Heleobia australis and Heleobia australis), on the richness and on the prevalence of the digenean assemblages that parasitize them, 1.945 snails were collected from two sampling sites. The comparisons between larval digenean communities parasitizing both snail hosts, revealed significant differences related to the overall prevalence and the prevalence contributed by birds in the snails collected from reefs. These results support the idea that the reefs may increase the number of links between intermediate and definitive hosts of digeneans, facilitating parasite transmission only when the aggregates of F. enigmaticus become the unique habitat of the snail host. This first report of an exotic species acting as facilitator of parasite transmission in an estuarine area highlights the importance of analyzing the effects of the assimilation process of exotic species by recently colonized environments (including the possible effects on parasite transmission).
