Abstract "Reports of marine parasites and diseases are increasing worldwide; however, they are woefully understudied compared to their terrestrial counterparts. Part of the disparity stems from the logistical difficulties of working and sampling in the ocean, as well as the open nature of many marine populations that decreases the visibility and tractability of marine parasites. As we work to build the knowledge base of marine parasites and diseases, we must recognize that such a process is more than just cataloguing species. Rather, we need appropriate frameworks for understanding which parasites and diseases are impactful, how they affect species other than their hosts, how they are exacerbated by environmental factors, and how they may adapt to conditions of global change"-- Provided by publisher.
