Hooking the scientific community on thorny-headed worms: interesting and exciting facts, knowledge gaps and perspectives for research directions on Acanthocephala

Parasite, 2023
Although interest in Acanthocephala seems to have reached only a small community of researchers worldwide, we show in this opinion article that this group of parasites is composed of excellent model organisms for studying key questions in parasite ...

On the Neoechinorhynchus agilis (Acanthocephala: Neoechinorhynchidae) complex, with a description of Neoechinorhynchus ponticus n. sp. from Chelon auratus in the Black Sea

Parasite, 2020
We recognize four species in the Neoechinorhynchus agilis complex. We studied specimens of Neoechinorhynchus (Hebesoma) personatus Tkach, Sarabeev & Shvetsova, 2014 from Mugil cephalus in the Mediterranean Sea off Tunisia and in the Black Sea, and also ...

Transcriptome data reveal Syndermatan relationships and suggest the evolution of endoparasitism in Acanthocephala via an epizoic stage.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The taxon Syndermata comprises the biologically interesting wheel animals ("Rotifera": Bdelloidea + Monogononta + Seisonidea) and thorny-headed worms (Acanthocephala), and is central for testing superordinate phylogenetic hypotheses (Platyzoa, Gnathifera)

Novel gene arrangement in the mitochondrial genome of Aspersentis megarhynchus (Acanthocephala, Echinorhynchida, Heteracanthocephalidae), and its phylogenetic implications [PDF]

Parasite
The Heteracanthocephalidae Petrochenko, 1956 is a rare family of acanthocephalans mainly parasitic in fishes. The pattern of mitogenomic evolution of the Heteracanthocephalidae is still unknown, and the phylogenetic relationships of the ...

Molecular evidence on phenotypic variation in the poorly known acanthocephalan species Rhadinorhynchus cololabis Laurs & McCauley, 1964 (Echinorhynchida: Rhadinorhynchidae) [PDF]

Parasite
Acanthocephalans of the genus Rhadinorhynchus parasitize various marine fishes worldwide. However, the true diversity of Rhadinorhynchus is still unclear.

Ovarian balls (Floating ovaries) of Rhadinorhynchus niloticus Mohamadain, 1989 from the Nile perch Lates niloticus Linnaeus, 1758; an electron microscope study [PDF]

Helminthologia
In Acanthocephala, the ovarian balls (floating ovaries) are distinctive structures found suspended in the fluid-filled metasoma of females and are responsible for egg production and maturation.

Prevalence and diversity of Acanthocephala in stream-dwelling amphipods (Gammarus fossarum) around an urban area in the eastern Alpine foothills [PDF]

Parasitology
Population dynamics of aquatic parasites respond to factors like host availability, habitat age and quality. Amphipods are intermediate hosts for Acanthocephala, a widespread group of parasitic worms. Acanthocephalan infections of amphipods can easily be

First insight into metal binding proteins from the de novo transcriptome of acanthocephalan parasite Dentitruncus truttae [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Acanthocephala are parasites increasingly used as bioindicators of environmental quality due to their ability to effectively accumulate metals. However, the mechanisms of metal homeostasis in them remain unclear as there has been only one genomic study ...

Acanthocephala of Arkansas, Including New Host and Geographic Distribution Records from Fishes [PDF]

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science, 2016
Little is known about the spiny- or thorny-headed worms (Phylum Acanthocephala) of Arkansas and there are no summaries on the acanthocephalans of the state. Here, we provide a checklist of the 22 acanthocephalans that occur in Arkansas’ vertebrates based
