Non-lethal detection of mtDNA from the monogenean Gyrodactylus mutabilitas which recorded for the first time from the gill mucus of Cyprinus carpio, Iraq

open access: yesRevista de Ciências Agroveterinárias
The monogenean species of the genus Gyrodactylus are harmful to the common carp Cyprinus carpio. In this study fish sampling were collected from al-Tarmiyahm fish farm, Baghdad Iraq. The presence of the monogenean Gyrodactylus mutabilitas is reported in

Low Ectoparasite Loads and Interactions With Cleaner Fish Among Amphiprion Anemonefish

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
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 ...

Fish host-monogenean parasite interactions, with special reference to Polyopisthocotylea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Teleost fishes possess immune systems capable of mounting humoral and cellular responses against pathogens, both specific and non-specific. Monogenea (Platyhelminthes) are common ectoparasites of fish, and can have significant pathogenic effects on hosts,

Addressing a Flat‐Out Problem: Environmental DNA (eDNA) Exposes Silent Infestations of Acropora‐Eating Flatworms (Prosthiostomum acroporae) in Coral Aquaculture

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
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.

Aggregation and negative interactions in low-diversity and unsaturated monogenean (Platyhelminthes) communities in Astyanax aeneus (Teleostei) populations in a neotropical river of Mexico

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019
We studied monogenean communities of 11 populations of Astyanax aeneus (Günther) separated by small geographical distances along 60 km of the Lacantún river in Chiapas, Mexico, in February and August 2012. We found 12 monogenean taxa. Amongst these, five

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)

open access: yesJournal 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

Monogenean anchor morphometry: systematic value, phylogenetic signal, and evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background. Anchors are one of the important attachment appendages for monogenean parasites. Common descent and evolutionary processes have left their mark on anchor morphometry, in the form of patterns of shape and size variation useful for systematic ...

Looking for Greener Pastures: In Vitro Screening of Phytogenics for the Control of Sparicotyle chrysophrii in Gilthead Sea Bream

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The gill parasite Sparicotyle chrysophrii poses a significant threat to gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) aquaculture in the Mediterranean, causing considerable mortality and economic losses. As traditional chemotherapeutic treatments, like formalin, face growing regulatory restrictions, there is an urgent need for alternative control ...

The distribution of monogenean parasites on aquatic vertebrates inhabiting Chinese inland waters

open access: yes, 2000
The general distribution of monogenean parasites of aquatic vertebrates inhabiting Chinese inland waters is summarised. Five hundred and seventy-two out of a total of 581 species of monogeneans were discovered on fish, while only nine species were found ...
