A phylogeny of Cichlidogyrus spp. (Monogenea, Dactylogyridea) clarifies a host-switch between fish families and reveals an adaptive component to attachment organ morphology of this parasite genus [PDF]
Parasite switches to new host species are of fundamental scientific interest and may be considered an important speciation mechanism. For numerous monogenean fish parasites, infecting different hosts is associated with morphological adaptations, in particular of the attachment organ (haptor).

Mitochondrial genomes of two diplectanids (Platyhelminthes: Monogenea) expose paraphyly of the order Dactylogyridea and extensive tRNA gene rearrangements [PDF]
Recent mitochondrial phylogenomics studies have reported a sister-group relationship of the orders Capsalidea and Dactylogyridea, which is inconsistent with previous morphology- and molecular-based phylogenies. As Dactylogyridea mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) are currently represented by only one family, to improve the phylogenetic resolution, we ...

The monogenean parasite fauna of cichlids: a potential tool for host biogeography. [PDF]
We discuss geographical distribution and phylogeny of Dactylogyridea (Monogenea) parasitizing Cichlidae to elucidate their hosts' history. Although mesoparasitic Monogenea (Enterogyrusspp.) show typical vicariant distribution, ectoparasitic ...

Histological investigation on Ancyrocephalus paradoxus (Dactylogyridea: Ancyrocephalidae) infection causing mortalities in an intensively cultured pikeperch [Sander lucioperca (L.)] stock [PDF]
In a cultured pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) stock the monopisthocotylean monogenean gill parasite Ancyrocephalus paradoxus caused heavy infection and mortalities.

Semantic representation of monogenean haptoral Bar image annotation. [PDF]
Background Digitised monogenean images are usually stored in file system directories in an unstructured manner. In this paper we propose a semantic representation of these images in the form of a Monogenean Haptoral Bar Image (MHBI) ontology, which are ...

We studied the systematics of 14 species of monogenean (Ancyrocephalidae) gill parasites from West African tilapiine hosts (Cichlidae) using both morphological and genetic data. With these tools, we were able to: (i) confirm the validity of the previously described morphological parasite species and of the genus Scutogyrus; (ii) propose that some ...

Temporally consistent species differences in parasite infection but no evidence for rapid parasite-mediated speciation in Lake Victoria cichlid fish. [PDF]
Parasites may have strong eco-evolutionary interactions with their hosts. Consequently, they may contribute to host diversification. The radiation of cichlid fish in Lake Victoria provides a good model to study the role of parasites in the early stages ...

Short-term infection dynamics of the monogenean parasite Ligictaluridus floridanus (Monogenea: Dactylogyridea: Ancyrocephalidae) on channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus (Actinopterygii: Siluriformes: Ictaluridae) [PDF]
Ligictaluridus floridanus (Mueller, 1936) is a monogenean parasite that affects farmed channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque, 1818). No studies, however, have been conducted on this monogenean’s infection dynamics. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and mean abundance of L.
