A comparative assessment of the morphology of Profilicollis altmani (Acanthocephala, Polymorphidae) from crustaceans and shore birds in Peru, with special notes on hook elemental analysis (EDXA), SEM imaging, histopathology, and molecular profile

Parasite, 2022
The morphology of cystacanths and adults of Profilicollis altmani (Perry, 1942) Van Cleave, 1947 (Polymorphidae) were studied from the Pacific mole crab Emerita analoga (Stimpson) (Crustacea, Hippidae) and Belcher’s gull Larus belcheri (Vigors) (Aves ...

Helminth Diversity in Teleost Fishes from the South Orkney Islands Region, West Antarctica

Zoodiversity, 2022
Helminths of 12 fish species collected near South Orkney Islands, West Antarctica were studied. In the whole sample of 115 fish specimens, we identified one species of Monogenea, 5 species of Trematoda, 4 species of Cestoda, 5 species of Nematoda, and 7 ...

The genome, transcriptome, and proteome of the fish parasite Pomphorhynchus laevis (Acanthocephala)

PLoS ONE, 2020
Thorny-headed worms (Acanthocephala) are endoparasites exploiting Mandibulata (Arthropoda) and Gnathostomata (Vertebrata). Despite their world-wide occurrence and economic relevance as a pest, genome and transcriptome assemblies have not been published ...

SEM study of hooks in the Acanthocephala with emphasis on structural-functional relationships

Zoodiversity, 2022
The retractable proboscis of acanthocephalans is equipped with hooks for attachment to the intestine of the definitive host. Throughout their evolutionary history, acanthocephalans have developed a variety of ways to maximize their anchoring to host gut ...

Unravelling the hidden biodiversity – the establishment of DNA barcodes of fish-parasitizing Acanthocephala Koehlreuther, 1771 in view of taxonomic misidentifications, intraspecific variability and possible cryptic species

Parasitology, 2020
Acanthocephalans are obligate parasites of vertebrates, mostly of fish. There is limited knowledge about the diversity of fish-parasitizing Acanthocephala in Austria.

Acanthocephala Larvae parasitizing Ameiva ameiva ameiva (Linnaeus, 1758) (Squamata: Teiidae)

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2016
Knowledge concerning the taxonomy and biology of species of Acanthocephala, helminth parasites of the helminth species of the phylum Acanthocephala, parasites of lizards in Brazilian Amazonia, is still insufficient, but reports of Acanthocephala in ...

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)

Scanning morphology, prevalence and histopathology of some acanthocephalans infecting some River Nile fish

Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2021
Acanthocephalan morphology and their adverse pathological impact on fish are of great concern. Two species of acanthocephalans were recorded from 800 samples of live freshwater fish collected randomly during 2017–2018 from Lake Nasser, Aswan, Egypt.

Helminths of antarctic rockcod Notothenia coriiceps (Perciformes, Nototheniidae) from the akademik Vernadsky station area (Argentine Islands, West Antarctica): new data on the parasite community

Zoodiversity, 2020
The aim of our study was to update the information on taxonomic diversity and structure of the parasite community of Antarctic rockcod, Notothenia coriiceps in the coastal water off the Argentine Islands (Wilhelm Archipelago, Graham Land, West Antarctica)
