Systematic Review of Parasite Diversity in Wild Freshwater Fishes and Their Host‐Locality Interactions in Türkiye

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This systematic review documented a taxonomically diverse parasite fauna of freshwater fishes across seven geographical regions of Türkiye, encompassing 11 phyla: Acanthocephala, Annelida, Arthropoda, Choanozoa, Ciliophora, Cnidaria, Euglenozoa, Mollusca, Myzozoa, Nematoda, and Platyhelminthes.

Amended diagnosis, mitochondrial genome, and phylogenetic position of Sphyranura euryceae (Neodermata, Monogenea, Polystomatidae), a parasite of the Oklahoma salamander

Parasite, 2023
Polystomatidae is a monogenean family whose representatives infect mainly (semi)-aquatic tetrapods. Species of Sphyranura Wright, 1879 exhibit ectoparasitism on salamander hosts, with molecular work supporting their inclusion within Polystomatidae, at an

Progress and Challenges in Phylogenomics and Genomics of Lophotrochozoa/Spiralia

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 521-544, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Lophotrochozoa is one of the three major bilaterian groups comprising more than half of the bilaterian phyla. Lophotrochozoa includes among others Mollusca, Annelida, Platyhelminthes and Rotifera. Despite representing such a large proportion of animal diversity, they are historically understudied and genomic resources have been scarce. However,

Marine Parasite Biogeography Mirrors Host Patterns Across Latitude, Area, and Diversity

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Parasites are integral components of biodiversity, yet they remain poorly represented in large‐scale biogeographic theory. In this study, we test whether marine parasites follow three macroecological patterns established for free‐living taxa, namely that parasite species richness: (1) scales positively with area (both host body size and geographic area)

Intraspecific variation in Gyrodactylus mediotorus and G. crysoleucas (Gyrodactylidae) from Nearctic shiners (Leuciscidae): evidence for ongoing speciation, host-switching, and parasite translocation

Parasite
A parasitological investigation of Cyprinella venusta and Notropis cf. stramineus sampled in Texas, USA, in the Guadalupe River, revealed the presence of Gyrodactylus crysoleucas Mizelle and Kritsky, 1967 on C.

Plant‐Derived Treatments for Monogenean Parasites in Farmed Fish: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Monogeneans are among the most problematic ectoparasites in finfish aquaculture. Plant‐derived compounds have been widely explored as therapeutic agents, yet their efficacy and safety have not been quantitatively synthesized across studies. This study provides a meta‐analysis of plant‐based treatments against monogeneans, integrating 453 in ...

Marine Fish Parasites: A Bibliometric Review

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
This bibliometric study analyzes 11,368 publications on marine fish parasites from Web of Science and Scopus. The results reveal leading countries, institutions, and journals, and identify three main research clusters: parasitology, genetics, and marine ecology. Recent thematic evolution highlights a growing focus on aquaculture applications, including

Uncovering the diversity of monogeneans (Platyhelminthes) on endemic cypriniform fishes of the Balkan Peninsula: new species of Dactylogyrus and comments on their phylogeny and host-parasite associations in a biogeographic context

Parasite, 2020
Seven new species of Dactylogyrus Diesing, 1850 (Dactylogyridae) are described from the gills of seven endemic species of cyprinoids (Cyprinidae, Leuciscidae) inhabiting the Balkan Peninsula: Dactylogyrus romuli n. sp. from Luciobarbus albanicus (Greece),

Shedding light on the parasite communities and diet of the deep‐sea shark Deania profundorum (Smith & Radcliffe, 1912) (Squaliform: Centrophoridae) from the Avilés Canyon (southern Bay of Biscay)

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 1150-1169, April 2026.
Abstract Deep‐sea elasmobranchs are less resilient to the increasing scale of anthropogenic impacts such as fisheries, owing to their life‐history traits. The necessity for proper management measures is hampered by the scant knowledge on these taxa and their biology. Here we provide the first comprehensive insight into the parasite infracommunities and
