Redescription of Placobdella Multistriata ( Johansson, 1909) (Hirudinea: Glossiphoniidae)
Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 1979 Study of a large number of specimens of Placobdella multistriata (Johansson, 1909) revealed the unsatisfactory nature of the information currently available on this leech. The reason is evidently the fact that previous workers had very limited and poorly

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Riffles are heterogeneous habitats that support diverse assemblages in natural streams. They are often constructed as part of stream restoration practice, including in degraded urban stream ecosystems, despite larger scale limits to ecological state.

The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Torix tukubana (Annelida: Hirudinea: Glossiphoniidae)
Genes, 2023 Torix tukubana is a poorly understood proboscidate leech species, generally an ectoparasite on amphibian species. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of T. tukubana was sequenced using next-generation sequencing (NGS), and the essential characteristics, gene arrangement, and phylogenetic relationship were analyzed. The results

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 615-625, May 2023., 2023 Abstract In recent years, pollution of watercourses in nearby protected ecosystems has increased due to urbanization. Standard physiochemical methods and probes are one way to monitor watercourses for quality. However, they often do not provide the full ecological status of the body of water.

A global review of problematic and pathogenic parasites of farmed tilapia
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 15, Issue S1, Page 92-153, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Over the past 80 years, tilapia have been translocated globally for aquaculture; active production is recorded in >124 countries. Of 7 million tonnes of tilapia produced in aquaculture, 79% is from 79 countries outside the natural range of tilapia.
