Abstract
Increasing recognition of interactions between disease and aquatic pollution, few studies have explored how these stressors act together on aquatic vertebrates at environmentally relevant contaminant concentrations. The combined effects of trematode infection, and glyphosate formulation exposure at an environmentally relevant sub-lethal concentration, were not predictable from their individual effects because we observed a synergistic effect on fish survival but no effect of glyphosate formulation alone. We are aware of a single study reporting increased virulence of micro-parasitic infections in aquatic micro-crustaceans after simultaneous exposure to the pesticide carbaryl. Studies on vertebrates have shown synergistic increases in infection rates in the presence of contaminants, but impacts on host survival were either insignificant or not reported.
