Abstract

The article "Lack of Evidence for European Eel Infection by Anguillicola crassus in Madeira Island, Macaronesia" published in the Journal of Fish Diseases explores the absence of the parasitic nematode Anguillicola crassus in European eels inhabiting Madeira Island. The study found no evidence of infection in the eels examined, suggesting that the island's isolation and lack of international eel trade may have prevented the introduction of the parasite. While swimbladder characteristics and eel body condition were generally healthy, further research is needed to assess the overall health and conservation status of European eels in the Macaronesia region.
