Parasitofauna of commercial fish species of the Northern (Small) Aral Sea [PDF]
The catastrophic desiccation of the Aral Sea and subsequent hydrological changes have profoundly altered the region's ecosystem, leading to the restructuring of both fish communities and their associated parasite assemblages.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Sindiplozoon coreius: genome structure description, comparative analysis, and phylogenetic implications [PDF]
Background Diplozoids are common gill-parasitic monogenean ectoparasites of cyprinid fishes and can adversely affect host respiration. Despite their ecological and pathological significance, genomic information on diplozoids remains limited ...

First record of Amphipolycotyle chloroscombrus Hargis, 1957 (Monogenea, Polyopisthocotylea, Gastrocotylidae) in the South Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
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).

Morphological and genetic identification of the gill monogenean parasite (Diclidophora merlangi) that infects Twobar Seabream Fish (Acanthopagrus bifasciatus) in the Arabian Gulf, Saudi Arabia [PDF]
Ectoparasites, particularly monogeneans, negatively affect fish health and growth. This study identified monogenean parasites in the twobar seabream, Acanthopagrus bifasciatus (Sparidae), inhabited the Arabian Gulf (Saudi Arabia). Following that, forty A.

This study focuses on the phylogenetic relationships within the Polyopisthocotylea and Monopisthocotylea, two groups that are often grouped within the monogeneans, a group of disputed paraphyly. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted with multiple outgroups chosen according to two hypotheses, a paraphyletic Monogenea or a monophyletic Monogenea, and with

Ultrastructural patterns of the excretory ducts of basal neodermatan groups (Platyhelminthes) and new protonephridial characters of basal cestodes [PDF]
Background The flatworms (Lophotrochozoa: Platyhelminthes) are one of the major phyla of invertebrates but their interrelationships are still not well understood including unravelling the most closely related taxon of the Neodermata, which includes ...

The Buccal Organ of Some Monogenea Polyopisthocotylea
Light and electron microscopic studies of the ‘buccal suckers’ of Gotocotyla secunda showed that they are complex structures with muscular, glandular, (resorptive?), and probably sensory components. The name ‘buccal organ’ is therefore proposed for them.

This study investigates intra- and inter-generic variation in the chaetotaxy pattern of members of the Gyrodactylidae and compares these data with those from other monogenean groups elucidated by other workers. The staining of surface sensillary structures has revealed areas of homology between the two genera Gyrodactylus and Ooegyrodactylus, which ...

Bivagina pagrosomi Murray (1931) (Monogenea: Polyopisthocotylea), a microcotylid infecting the gills of the gilt-head sea bream Sparus aurata (Sparidae) from the Red Sea: morphology and phylogeny [PDF]
Monogenea is a class of ectoparasitic flatworms on the skin, gills, or fins of fish. Microcotylidae is a family of polyopisthocotylean monogeneans parasitising only marine fishes.
