Info

Dissodactylus primitivus Bouvier, 1917

This pea crab is associated with the Red Heart Urchin (Meoma ventricosa).

The pea crab has been considered to be an ectoparasite since it browses on echinoid spines and integument. The maximum burden was 18 Dissodactylus primitivus per host (Meoma ventricosa).

The probability of infection is not influenced by host size, but host size influenced the number of colonizing crabs.

Synonymised names:
Dissodactylus borradailei Rathbun, 1918 (junior synonym)
