Schematic representation of the experimental design. In Experiment 1, the survival of infected and uninfected Littorina littorea was evaluated along with cercarial emergence at 4, 10, 16, 22, and 28 °C. In Experiment 2, the performance of cercariae at 10, 16, 22, and 28 °C was assessed by evaluating their self-propelling capacity and survival and encystment rates. In Experiment 3, acute infection success of Himasthla elongata to Mytilus edulis s.l. was evaluated at 10, 16, 22, and 28 °C.
