according to the host and parasite communities considered. Indeed, if a significant
reduction of the parasitic pressure was demonstrated during the invasion of exotic
species, this process was however only visible in S. chrysotaenia, S. rivulatus, S. luridus
on the other hand it was not verified in F. commersonii.
