During October and November of 2011 and 2012, 229 hermit crabs, Pagurus bernhardus, were randomly collected from the intertidal shore at three locations along the southwest coast of Ireland. This is the first survey to assess the health status of this crustacean in Ireland. Carapace length and the sex of each crab were recorded. Crabs were screened for parasites by histology and the intensity and prevalence of infection was determined. Crabs of varying carapace length were screened. The only parasite observed in the crabs was Microphallus sp., the first record of this digenetic trematode in P. bernhardus in Europe.
在2011年和2012年的10月及11月，从爱尔兰西南海岸三个地点的潮间带随机采集了229只伯氏 Pagurus bernhardus 寄居蟹。这是首次评估爱尔兰这种甲壳类动物健康状况的调查。记录了每只螃蟹的背甲长度和性别。通过组织学对螃蟹进行寄生虫筛查，并确定感染强度和感染率。对不同背甲长度的螃蟹进行了筛查。在螃蟹中观察到的唯一寄生虫是 Microphallus sp.，这是这种复殖吸虫在欧洲 Pagurus bernhardus 中的首次记录。
