INTERSPECIFIC AND INTRASPECIFIC RELATIONSHIPS OF GREAT CORMORANT’S NEMATODE CONTRACAECUM RUDOLPHII IN PAVLODAR REGION

The size of helminths is substantially influenced by interspecific interactions. There are around 90 copies present. The presence of Contracecums in the intestine of a single cormorant individual resulted in a significant reduction in the overall size of the nematodes. When cestodes are present, Contracecums undergo brachymorphic changes, which can be seen as an adaptation to maintain fertility while minimising energy expenditure. The ratio of parasite abundance in the host to parasite size might vary based on the specific parameters of the host-parasite interaction. The size of the parasite can be regulated by multiple factors associated with the parasite population within the host.
