New Records and Descriptions of Three New Species of Quadriacanthus (Monopisthocotyla: Dactylogyridae) from Catfishes (Teleostei: Siluriformes, Clariidae) in the Upper Congo Basin. [PDF]

Animals (Basel)
Simple Summary Monogenean flatworms are mainly parasitic in lower aquatic vertebrates including fish, anurans and chelonians. Quadriacanthus is one of the four genera infecting African clariids. To date, 45 members of the genus are described, but this is

Four new species of Cichlidogyrus (Platyhelminthes, Monopisthocotyla, Dactylogyridae) from Lake Victoria haplochromine cichlid fishes, with the redescription of C. bifurcatus and C. longipenis. [PDF]

Parasite
African cichlids are model systems for evolutionary studies and host-parasite interactions, because of their adaptive radiations and because they harbour many species of monogenean parasites with high host-specificity.

Species of Annulotrema (Monopisthocotylea, Dactylogyridae) parasitising African tetras (Characiformes, Alestidae) in the Phongolo River, South Africa with the description of four new species. [PDF]

Parasite
Species of Alestidae are known to be parasitised by dactylogyrid monogeneans representing three genera, Afrocleidodiscus Paperna, 1969, Annulotrema Paperna & Thurston, 1969, and Characidotrema Paperna & Thurston, 1968.

Evolutionary morphology of haptoral anchors in monogenoids (Dactylogyridae) of marine catfish (Siluriformes: Ariidae) from the Atlantic coast of South America. [PDF]

Parasitology
Abstract Exploring the phylogenetic signal of morphological traits using geometric morphometry represents a powerful approach to assess the relative weights of convergence and shared evolutionary history in shaping species' forms.

The phylogenetic position of Anacanthorus (Monogenea, Dactylogyridae) parasitizing Brazilian serrasalmids (Characiformes) [PDF]

Parasite, 2019
Anacanthorus (Anacanthorinae) is one of the most speciose and common genera of neotropical monogeneans, yet there are still many gaps in our knowledge concerning their diversity and phylogeny.

Uncovering the monogenean species diversity of cyprinoid fish in Iraq using an integrative approach [PDF]

Parasitology
The freshwaters of Iraq harbour a high diversity of endemic and phylogenetically unique species. One of the most diversified fish groups in this region is cyprinoids, and although their distribution is relatively well known, their monogenean parasites ...

Improving tilapia biosecurity through a value chain approach

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 15, Issue S1, Page 57-91, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Tilapia aquaculture is a major source of animal protein, with global production reaching over 6 million tonnes in 2020. The rapid growth of the tilapia sector has led to a number of emerging disease threats and subsequent production losses. Risk analysis can provide a targeted approach for improving biosecurity in the tilapia sector.
