  1. Notes: The values displayed represent the number of molluscs used for each combination. All of these combinations were replicated for each temperature treatments, representing 5 batches of 12 molluscs for each temperature and a total of 20 batches of 12 molluscs. Other combinations like B.t Cameroon and S.h Cameroon were not tested as they are not relevant to the present study (i.e. the establishment of tropical parasites in European B. truncatus molluscs)
