Table 2 Parasite abundance (A, mean ± SD), prevalence (P) and intensity of infection (II, max–min) for each group of fish groups ((Rutilus rutilus, Abramis brama, backcross generation with roach in paternal position (abbreviated as backcross R. rutilus), backcross generation with common bream in paternal position (abbreviated as backcross A. brama))

From: Monogeneans in intergeneric hybrids of leuciscid fish: Is parasite infection driven by hybrid heterosis, genetic incompatibilities, or host-parasite coevolutionary interactions?
