  abstract = {{T}he rosette agent {S}phaerothecum destruens is a novel pathogen, which is currently believed to have been introduced into {E}urope along with the introduction of the invasive fish topmouth gudgeon {P}seudorasbora parva ({T}emminck & {S}chlegel, 1846). {I}ts close association with {P}. parva and its wide host species range and associated host mortalities, highlight this parasite as a potential source of disease emergence in {E}uropean fish species. {H}ere, using a meta-analysis of the reported {S}. destruens prevalence across all reported susceptible hosts species; we calculated host-specificity providing support that {S}. destruens is a true generalist. {W}e have applied all the available information on {S}. destruens and host-range to an established framework for risk-assessing non-native parasites to evaluate the risks posed by {S}. destruens and discuss the next steps to manage and prevent disease emergence of this generalist parasite.},
