Alien species of parasites--some questions concerning terminology. 2014

Teresa Pojmańska, and Katarzyna Niewiadomska

The article deals with some terms proposed by the proper institutions of the Council of Europe for describing the phenomenon of invasion of living organisms into new habitats. As these terms were elaborated mainly from the point of view of free leaving creatures, the goal of the authors was to discuss the possibility to adapt them for parasites species. Several propositions of resolving some difficulties have been presented'.
