Pathogens and Related Diseases in Non-European Cephalopods: Central and South America

Abstract:

Despite the economic and ecologic importance of Mexican four-eyed Octopus maya and the jumbo squid Dosidicus gigas, the pathogens and diseases in both species remain largely unknown. This chapter covers the pathogens and diseases, mainly protozoan and metazoan parasites, of these two non-European cephalopods.
