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

open access: yesParasite, 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

open access: yesParasite, 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 ...

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genomes of the zoonotic parasites Bolbosoma nipponicum and Corynosoma villosum (Acanthocephala: Polymorphida) and the molecular phylogeny of the order Polymorphida [PDF]

open access: yesParasitology, 2023
Abstract Acanthocephalans of the order Polymorphida mainly parasitic in birds and mammals, are of veterinary, medical and economic importance. However, the evolutionary relationships of its 3 families (Centrorhynchidae, Polymorphidae and Plagiorhynchidae)

The complete mitochondrial genome of Hebesoma violentum (Acanthocephala)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
The acanthocephalan Hebesoma violentum Van Cleave was obtained in the intestine of Siniperca chuatsi. The complete mt genome sequence of H. violentum was obtained by long PCR, containing 36 genes with 12 protein coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs ...

The mitochondrial genome of Heterosentis pseudobagri (Wang & Zhang, 1987) Pichelin & Cribb, 1999 reveals novel aspects of tRNA genes evolution in Acanthocephala

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2023
Background Acanthocephala is a clade of obligate endoparasites whose mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) and evolution remain relatively poorly understood.

Phylomitogenomic Analyses Provided Further Evidence for the Resurrection of the Family Pseudoacanthocephalidae (Acanthocephala: Echinorhynchida)

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
Simple Summary Acanthocephalans, commonly known as spiny-headed or thorny-headed worms, are a small group of endoparasites with veterinary, medical and economic importance due to their ability to cause disease in domestic animals, wildlife, and humans ...

Mitochondrial phylogenomics of Acanthocephala: nucleotide alignments produce long-branch attraction artefacts

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Classification of the Acanthocephala, a clade of obligate endoparasites, remains unresolved because of insufficiently strong resolution of morphological characters and scarcity of molecular data with a sufficient resolution.

Genomics and transcriptomics of epizoic Seisonidea (Rotifera, syn. Syndermata) reveal strain formation and gradual gene loss with growing ties to the host

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2021
Background Seisonidea (also Seisonacea or Seisonidae) is a group of small animals living on marine crustaceans (Nebalia spec.) with only four species described so far. Its monophyletic origin with mostly free-living wheel animals (Monogononta, Bdelloidea)

Parasites of Moroccan desert Coptodon guineensis (Pisces, Cichlidae): transition and resilience in a simplified hypersaline ecosystem

open access: yesParasite, 2022
Sebkha Imlili (Atlantic Sahara) is a salt flat with over 160 permanent holes of hypersaline water generated in the Holocene and inhabited by euryhaline organisms that are considered to be relics of the past, including the cichlid fish Coptodon guineensis.

Endohelminth fauna of teleost fishes from coasts of Şile region of the Black sea

open access: yesHelminthologia, 2021
A total of 508 fish specimens belonging to 19 species collected in the coast of Şile region of the Black sea were examined to detect the presence of endohelminths. Of this, 357 (70.27%) were found to be infected with parasites.
