Abstract
    Density-dependent effects of Anguillicola crassus larval infections in the copepod intermediate host were examined experimentally. Three species of copepods (Cyclops vicinus, C. Viridis and C. Fuscus) were subjected to a range of doses of larval A. Crassus within infection arenas. Prevalence, intensity and parasite dispersion (variance:mean abundance) values increase and then approach an asymptote as infection dose increases. Infection parameters differ between species of copepod. Increasing temperature has a negative effect on the establishment of the parasite population within the intermediate host. Parasite-induced host mortality increases with dose. These mechanisms have the potential to regulate populations of A. Crassus larvae within the copepod population and hence the whole suprapopulation.
