Monogenean Parasites of Fish

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;

Zingiber officinale (Ginger), Curcuma longa (Turmeric) and Cymbopogon nardus (Lemon Grass) Essential Oils Have Anti‐Dactylogyrideans Potential in Colossoma macropomum Cuvier 1816 (Tambaqui)

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries
Essential oils are composed of secondary metabolites derived from medicinal plants and have bioactive properties, such as antiparasitic activity. This study investigated the in vitro anti‐dactylogyridean efficacy of the Zingiber officinale, Curcuma longa

Myxosporean hyperparasites of gill monogeneans are basal to the Multivalvulida [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2011
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 ...

Parasitic Infections of Freshwater Fish in Kenya: Prevalence Patterns, Ecological Drivers, and Implications for Aquaculture Sustainability. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res
Fish parasitic infections present a growing threat to freshwater aquaculture in Kenya, affecting fish health, reducing productivity, and limiting the economic potential of small‐scale and commercial farms. This review provides the first consolidated national checklist of freshwater fish parasites in Kenya, synthesizing evidence from lakes, rivers, and ...

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). [PDF]

J Fish Biol
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

Monogeneans as bioindicators: A meta-analysis of effect size of contaminant exposure toward Monogenea (Platyhelminthes)

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Monogenea is a Class of ecologically and economically significant platyhelminth parasites of freshwater and marine hosts. Contamination of the environment has been shown to variably affect parasites resulting in alterations at the population and ...

Anthelmintic Efficacy of Rosemary Oil and Its Nanoemulsion Against the Monogenean Parasite, <i>Zeuxapta seriolae</i>, in Yellowtail Kingfish (<i>Seriola lalandi</i>). [PDF]

Aquac Nutr
This study evaluated the anthelmintic efficacy of rosemary oil delivered as a nanoemulsion compared with regular rosemary oil against the monogenean parasite Zeuxapta seriolae in yellowtail kingfish (YTK; Seriola lalandi). A 20‐day feeding trial tested three dietary treatments: two levels of regular rosemary oil (providing 0.85 and 1.7 g cineole·kg−1 ...

Albendazole is effective for controlling monogenean parasites of the gills of Piaractus brachypomus (Serrasalmidae) and Megaleporinus macrocephalus (Anostomidae)

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2022
Monogenean infestations can cause high mortality in farmed fish and therefore significant economic losses. The present study investigated the efficacy of albendazole in therapeutic baths against monogeneans of Piaractus brachypomus Cuvier, 1818 and ...

First data on parasites of the invasive brown bullhead Ameiurus nebulosus (Siluriformes: Ictaluridae) in Ukraine

Helminthologia, 2023
This study describes the parasite community of non-native brown bullhead, Ameiurus nebulosus (Actinopterygii: Ictaluridae), collected at three sites in the river Vistula Basin (Lake Svitiaz, Lake Pisochne, and Lake on Plastova) and one site in the river ...
