EDIS, 2012 Monogeneans are a class of parasitic flatworms that are commonly found on fishes and lower aquatic invertebrates. Most monogeneans are browsers that move about freely on the fish’s body surface feeding on mucus and epithelial cells of the skin and gills;

Phototactic responses in four monogenean oncomiracidia [PDF]
Parasitology Research, 2021 Phototaxis is the common behavioral response exhibited by the oncomiracidia of various monogeneans. However, the changes in the oncomiracidial swimming behavior in response to light cues are not well understood. Here, we investigated the light responses of four monogeneans that are important pathogens in mariculture, namely Benedenia epinepheli ...

Monogenean parasitic flatworms
Current BiologyVanhove and colleagues introduce monogenean parasitic flatworms, a species-rich group of ectoparasitic flatworms that are mostly found on the skin, gills, or fins of fish and have a life cycle involving a single host.

International Journal for Parasitology, 1998 There are approximately 25,000 species of fishes known in the world. The Monogenea are believed to be among the most host-specific of parasites and if each species of fish is host to a different species of monogenean, there could be almost 25,000 monogenean species on Earth.

Urea water bath: A novel treatment for monogenean parasite infections in hagfish (Agnatha: Myxiniformes: Myxinidae) [PDF]
MethodsXMonogenean flatworms are pathogenic parasites that infect the skin of marine fish and pose a major problem in aquaculture and aquarium industries. Freshwater baths are the most commonly used method to treat these infections.
