Effects of microplastics and nanoplastics on host–parasite interactions in aquatic environments
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics and nanoplastics affect the interactions between parasites and their hosts in aquatic environments. Evidence indicates that plastic particles can influence infection rates, parasite transmission, and host immune responses, though the effects vary widely depending on the species and type of plastic involved.
Nanoplastics modulate the outcome of a zooplankton–microparasite interaction
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that nanoplastics can alter the outcome of zooplankton-microparasite interactions, demonstrating that plastic pollution at the nanoscale may disrupt host-parasite dynamics in freshwater ecosystems with cascading ecological effects.
Timing of nanoplastic exposure during infection impacts viability of host in an aquatic host–parasite system
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers tested whether the timing of nanoplastic exposure during a parasite's life cycle alters infection dynamics in Daphnia magna, finding no direct effect on the fungal parasite but high juvenile host mortality from 72-hour nanoplastic exposure — suggesting NPs can indirectly reshape host-parasite interactions by reducing host availability rather than by directly impairing the pathogen.
Physiological Alterations and Immune Modulation in Fish Exposed to Microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the physiological and immunological effects of microplastic exposure in fish, finding that these particles smaller than 5 mm induce a range of biological disruptions including immune modulation, oxidative stress, and systemic health impacts with broader implications for aquatic ecosystem integrity.
Microplastic as a Pathogenic Vector to Cause Diseases in Marine Biota
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examining microplastics as pathogenic vectors in marine environments found that these particles adsorb and concentrate pollutants and pathogens, facilitating their transfer through food chains and causing ecological harm to marine biota, terrestrial life, and ultimately humans.
