Mixed Infections and Hybridisation in Monogenean Parasites

PLoS ONE, 2012
Theory predicts that sexual reproduction promotes disease invasion by increasing the evolutionary potential of the parasite, whereas asexual reproduction tends to enhance establishment success and population growth rate. Gyrodactylid monogeneans are ubiquitous ectoparasites of teleost fish, and the evolutionary success of the specious Gyrodactylus ...

Progress and Challenges in Phylogenomics and Genomics of Lophotrochozoa/Spiralia

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
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,

Fish health, environmental contaminants, and disease management in Ghanaian aquaculture: A systematic review

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Fish health significantly influences aquaculture productivity, sustainability, food security, and public health. Despite Ghana's rapid aquaculture expansion, the sector remains constrained by widespread disease outbreaks and environmental threats. This systematic review synthesizes existing literature (2010–2024) to comprehensively assess fish

Infectious Diseases Management in Small‐Scale Freshwater Aquaculture in West Africa: Lessons for Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Infectious diseases are an increasing threat to food security, small‐scale livelihoods and the sustainability of aquaculture in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). In sub‐Saharan Africa, aquaculture is expanding rapidly but production systems often remain fragile.

Efficacy of a therapeutic bath with selected antiparasitic drugs on a Dactylogyrus anchoratus infection in juvenile common carp (Cyprinus carpio)

Veterinární Medicína, 2023
The study aimed to assess the effects of a therapeutic bath of five different antiparasitic drugs, in different baths and durations: fenbendazole (25 mg l-1, 12 h and 2 × 12 h), formaldehyde (0.17 ml l-1, 15 min), ivermectin (0.031 mg l-1, 1 h ...

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 ...

Monogeneans (Platyhelminthes) from marine fishes of Tongyeong, Korea [PDF]

Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2013
Monogeneans (Platyhelminthes) mostly parasitize on fins, skin and gills of fishes. In Korea, the study on monogeneans is limited, although, fishes are frequently encountered with severe infection of monogeneans. Hence, some of ranched and wild fishes were collected from Tongyeong marine living resources research and conservation center, southern part ...

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

Come rain or come shine: environmental effects on the infective stages of Sparicotyle chrysophrii, a key pathogen in Mediterranean aquaculture

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Evidence concerning the environmental influence on monogenean transmission and infection processes is widely accepted, although only the effects of a limited number of abiotic factors on particular monogenean species have been explored.
