| Impact Description | A third of round gobies collected from the Rhine River were infected with Anguillicola crassus. The larval parasites were found in acanthocephalan cysts, which likely allows it to evade the gobies immune system. Using round gobies as a paratenic host is another route Anguillicola crassus can infect European eels. |
