Identification and partial characterization of a novel serpin fromEudiplozoon nipponicum(Monogenea, Polyopisthocotylea) [PDF]
Parasite, 2018 Background: Serpins are a superfamily of serine peptidase inhibitors that participate in the regulation of many physiological and cell peptidase-mediated processes in all organisms (e.g.

“Something old, something new, something borrowed, and the oioxeny is true”: description of Plectanocotyle jeanloujustinei n. sp. (Polyopisthocotylea, Plectanocotylidae) from the MNHN Helminthology collection with novel molecular and morphological data for P. gurnardi (Van Beneden & Hesse, 1863) (sensu stricto) from Sweden [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeNatural history museums worldwide house billions of apposite specimens, offering the potential for cost-free parasitological datasets. Herein, we provide novel morphological and molecular data (28S and cox1) for the polyopisthocotylean Plectanocotyle ...

First record of Amphipolycotyle chloroscombrus Hargis, 1957 (Monogenea, Polyopisthocotylea, Gastrocotylidae) in the South Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 2016 Monogeneans are a group of largely ectoparasitic members of the phylum Platyhelminthes. These worms are considered to be among the most host-specific parasites in fish, commonly found on fins, body skin, gills, gill chambers, buccal cavity, cornea and nostrils of their host (BUCHMANN et al., 2004).

The complete mitochondrial genomes of Paradiplozoon yarkandense and Paradiplozoon homoion confirm that Diplozoidae evolve at an elevated rate [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2022 Background Diplozoidae are monogenean (Monogenea: Polyopisthocotylea) fish parasites characterised by a unique life history: two larvae permanently fuse into an X-shaped “Siamese” organism.

Mitochondrial phylogenomics provides conclusive evidence that the family Ancyrocephalidae is deeply paraphyletic [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2023 Background Unresolved taxonomic classification and paraphyly pervade the flatworm class Monogenea: the class itself may be paraphyletic and split into Polyopisthocotylea and Monopisthocotylea; there are some indications that the monopisthocotylean order ...

Spermiogenesis and spermatozoon ultrastructure in basal polyopisthocotylean monogeneans, Hexabothriidae and Chimaericolidae, and their significance for the phylogeny of the Monogenea [PDF]
Parasite, 2018 Sperm ultrastructure provides morphological characters useful for understanding phylogeny; no study was available for two basal branches of the Polyopisthocotylea, the Chimaericolidea and Diclybothriidea.

Triple barcoding for a hyperparasite, its parasitic host, and the host itself: a study of Cyclocotyla bellones (Monogenea) on Ceratothoa parallela (Isopoda) on Boops boops (Teleostei) [PDF]
Parasite, 2021 Cyclocotyla bellones Otto, 1823 (Diclidophoridae) is a monogenean characterised by an exceptional way of life. It is a hyperparasite that attaches itself to the dorsal face of isopods, themselves parasites in the buccal cavity of fishes.

Evaluating topological variability in Neodermata phylogenies using mitochondrial and ribosomal gene markers. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe Neodermata is a group of parasitic flatworms that includes the classes Trematoda, Cestoda, and Monogenea. Understanding the phylogenetic relationships within the Neodermata has been a longstanding challenge.

Ultrastructure of spermiogenesis and spermatozoa of Discocotyle sagittata (Monogenea: Polyopisthocotylea: Discocotylinea) [PDF]
Folia Parasitologica, 2001 Ultrastructural analysis revealed that the spermatozoon of Discocotyle sagittata (Leuckart, 1842) is composed of two parallel axonemes, mitochondrion, nucleus and cortical microtubules. The nucleus, which occupies a central/distal position and has an unusual crescent-shaped profile, is slightly shorter than the mitochondrial rod.
