Why Should We Care About Parasites? – Using Parasites as Indicators of Conservation & Ecological Restoration Success

Parasite diversity is one indicator of a healthy ecosystem. Many parasites require multiple types of hosts (invertebrates and vertebrates alike) to complete their lifecycles – if the hosts aren’t there, then the parasites that need those hosts won’t be there either. Come hear about parasite diversity in the Indian River Lagoon! How does parasite diversity in the IRL compare to other estuaries and coastal systems worldwide?
