Species of Ergasilus von Nordmann, 1832 (Copepoda: Ergasilidae) from cichlid fishes in Lake Tanganyika [PDF]

Parasitology, 2023
Ergasilus (von Nordmann, 1832) (Ergasilidae) is a species-rich group of parasitic copepods with a wide distribution in freshwater, marine and brackish environments. Up to now, 9 species of Ergasilus are known from cichlid fishes in Africa. In this study,

Integrative taxonomy approach to the study of parasitic ergasilids (Cyclopoida: Ergasilidae) of fishes from the Pardo River, Brazil with a redescription of Rhinergasilus piranhus Boeger and Thatcher, 1988 and a molecular phylogeny for Ergasilidae [PDF]

Parasitology
Brazil has the richest biodiversity of Ergasilidae on Earth, with 76 species in 19 genera. However, several authors suggested that there is still great potential for discoveries, especially regarding genetic data that are still scarce for ergasilids from

First record of two Copepoda species parasitizing Colomesus tocantinensis (Tetraodontiformes: Tetraodontidae) in the Tocantins-Araguaia basin, Brazil [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2023
Considering the lack of studies on freshwater fishes of the genus Colomesus, we conducted a survey the parasite fauna of Colomesus tocantinensis collected from the Tocantins River, Brazil.

Exploring South Africa's hidden marine parasite diversity: two new marine Ergasilus species (Copepoda: Cyclopoida: Ergasilidae) from the Evileye blaasop, Amblyrhynchote honckenii (Bloch) [PDF]

Parasitology
Marine parasites remain understudied in South Africa with little information available on their diversity and the effects these parasites may have on their hosts. This is especially true for parasitic copepods within the family Ergasilidae.

An alien parasite affects local fauna—Confirmation of Sinergasilus major (Copepoda: Ergasilidae) switching hosts and infecting native Silurus glanis (Actinopterygii: Siluridae) in Hungary [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021
In 2016, an intense copepod infection was recorded from a reservoir in proximity to the Danube River in Hungary from visibly emaciated wels catfish, Silurus glanis.

A new ergasilid copepod from lates perches in East Africa: morphology, phylogenetics, and genetic structure of Ergasilus ereimia sp. nov. [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Copepods are widely distributed across marine and freshwater environments and are often praised for their immense taxonomic and functional diversity. However, relatively little is known about parasitic copepods, particularly regarding their phylogenetic ...

Biological Invasion of Fish Parasite Neoergasilus japonicus (Harada, 1930) (Copepoda: Ergasilidae) in Lake Grand Laoucien, France: A Field Study on Life Cycle Parameters and Reasons for Unusual High Population Density [PDF]

Life, 2021
The fish parasite, Neoergasilus japonicus (Harada, 1930), native to Eastern Siberia and the Amur River catchment area, invaded European water bodies in the middle of the last century, possibly due to the human-mediated distribution of fish in the Amur ...
