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.

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 ...

Low Ectoparasite Loads and Interactions With Cleaner Fish Among Amphiprion Anemonefish
ABSTRACT Interactions between ectoparasites, reef fishes and cleaner species are well documented; however, anemonefishes (Amphiprioninae) have been largely overlooked in this context. A hypothesis proposed as early as 1869 suggests that anemonefishes may experience reduced ectoparasite loads due to their symbiotic association with venomous host sea ...

First insights into the diversity of gill monogeneans of ‘Gnathochromis’ and Limnochromis (Teleostei, Cichlidae) in Burundi: do the parasites mirror host ecology and phylogenetic history? [PDF]
Monogenea is one of the most species-rich groups of parasitic flatworms worldwide, with many species described only recently, which is particularly true for African monogeneans.

Captive coral aquaculture is increasingly important for both the aquarium trade and reef restoration, but production can be undermined by hard‐to‐detect pests such as the Acropora‐eating flatworm Prosthiostomum acroporae. We developed and validated a highly sensitive ddPCR assay capable of detecting P.

Background Studying structural and functional morphology of small organisms such as monogenean, is difficult due to the lack of visualization in three dimensions.

Background Monogenea (Platyhelminthes, Neodermata) are the most species-rich class within the Neodermata superclass of primarily fish parasites. Despite their economic and ecological importance, monogenean research tends to focus on their morphological ...

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

Myxosporean hyperparasites of gill monogeneans are basal to the Multivalvulida
Background Myxosporeans are known from aquatic annelids but parasitism of platyhelminths by myxosporeans has not been widely reported. Hyperparasitism of gill monogeneans by Myxidium giardi has been reported from the European eel and Myxidium-like ...
