1st yr PhD & publishing in a top parasitological journal! @KellyThys_ sheds light on genetics of the flatworm Dolicirroplectanum lacustre & suggests a potential founder effect resulting from its introduction into Lake Victoria. https://t.co/Hz4nOl38kW
In person conferences such as @ICOPAnhagen is not only about attending amazing sessions but also, very importantly, meeting up with old friends and making new ones. Great evening yesterday with the groups of @Bernd_AquatEcol @DrChelseaLWood & @MPM_Vanhove
Please let me introduce you two the morphotypes of Dolicirroplectanum lacustre infecting Lates niloticus in Lake Albert! Check out the rest of the story in our preprint! @KellyThys_@MPM_Vanhove@BiTE_UHasselt@MaartenVSte@Phinnochromis https://t.co/l6qrx3cys6
Introduced "Victoria perch" is well-known, but did you ever ask if its monogenean parasites went through a founder effect en route? Also perhaps intrasp. hybrids in these diplectanid flatworms. @KellyThys_ 1st PhD MS! @BiTE_UHasselt@CMK_Uhasselt@uhasselt https://t.co/yQC5V25Sie
