Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox

Acanthocephalus dirus is a species of parasitic worm in the Echinorhynchidae family.[1] Instead of having its eggs expelled from the host in feces, the gravid female detaches itself from the host's digestive tract and sinks to the bottom, where her body is consumed by the species' intermediate host, Caecidotea intermedius, a species of isopod.[2][3] Upon hatching, the larvae begin to alter their host's behavior. This will manifest in lighter pigmentation and an increased attraction to predators, such as A. dirus' primary hosts.[4][5]
