Primitive parasites with simple life cycles from ancient hosts emphasise adaptations to parasitism. Experimental studies on live eggs and infective stages of different monogenean (flatworm) parasite species from the skin, gills and cloaca of southern fiddler rays will identify critical interactions early in parasite-host relationships that determine whether or not parasitism occurs. Basic and applied benefits include: development of a tractable experimental system for studying parasite-host relationships; strategies to control parasites in public aquaria and aquaculture; profitable and exportable expertise; excellence and research training in basic parasitology; contributions to Australia's natural heritage collections.

原始的寄生虫从古老的主机简单的生活周期强调适应寄生。 对来自南方小提琴鳐皮肤、鳃和泄殖腔的不同单殖吸虫（扁形虫）寄生虫物种的活卵和感染阶段的实验研究，将在寄生虫-宿主关系的早期确定决定是否发生寄生的关键相互作用。 基本和应用效益包括：发展一个易于处理的实验系统，用于研究寄生虫-宿主关系;控制公共水族馆和水产养殖中的寄生虫的战略;有利可图和可出口的专业知识;基础寄生虫学的卓越和研究培训;对澳大利亚自然遗产收藏的贡献。
