| Impact Description | The severity of Anguillicola crassus infection symptoms (thickened swim bladder, hemorrhages in swim bladder, and congestion of swim bladder blood vessels) were significantly worse in European eels that received higher parasite doses and were reinfected. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays showed no evidence that reinfected eels build an antibody response or resistance. |
