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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Parasitofauna of commercial fish species of the Northern (Small) Aral Sea [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeThe 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.

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]
HelminthologiaEctoparasites, 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.
