Editing Jellyfish (section)

=== Parasites ===
Jellyfish are [[host (biology)|hosts]] to a wide variety of parasitic organisms. They act as intermediate hosts of endoparasitic [[helminth]]s, with the infection being transferred to the definitive host fish after [[predation]]. Some [[digenea]]n [[trematode]]s, especially species in the family [[Lepocreadiidae]], use jellyfish as their second intermediate hosts. Fish become infected by the trematodes when they feed on infected jellyfish.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Kondo |first1=Yusuke |last2=Ohtsuka |first2=Susumu |last3=Hirabayashi |first3=Takeshi |last4=Okada |first4=Shoma |last5=Ogawa |first5=Nanako O. |last6=Ohkouchi |first6=Naohiko |last7=Shimazu |first7=Takeshi |last8=Nishikawa |first8=Jun |display-authors=3|title=Seasonal changes in infection with trematode species utilizing jellyfish as hosts: evidence of transmission to definitive host fish via medusivory |journal=Parasite |volume=23 |year=2016 |page=16 |doi=10.1051/parasite/2016016 |url=https://www.parasite-journal.org/articles/parasite/full_html/2016/01/parasite150043/parasite150043.html|pmid=27055563 |pmc=4824873 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171104045257/https://www.parasite-journal.org/articles/parasite/full_html/2016/01/parasite150043/parasite150043.html |archive-date=4 November 2017 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=Leung, Tommy |url=http://dailyparasite.blogspot.fr/2016/05/opechona-olssoni.html |title=''Opechona olssoni'' |publisher=Blog: Parasite of the Day |date=26 May 2016|access-date=1 June 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160630161725/http://dailyparasite.blogspot.fr/2016/05/opechona-olssoni.html |archive-date=30 June 2016}}</ref>
