  abstract = {{S}ince its use as a model to study metazoan parasite culture and in vitro development, the plerocercoid of the tapeworm, {L}igula intestinalis, has served as a useful scientific tool to study a range of biological factors, particularly within its fish intermediate host. {F}rom the extensive long-term ecological studies on the interactions between the parasite and cyprinid hosts, to the recent advances made using molecular technology on parasite diversity and speciation, studies on the parasite have, over the last 60 years, led to significant advances in knowledge on host-parasite interactions. {T}he parasite has served as a useful model to study pollution, immunology and parasite ecology and genetics, as well has being the archetypal endocrine disruptor.},
