This article reviews the history of gyrodactylid research focussing on the unique anatomy,
behaviour, ecology and evolution of the viviparous forms while identifying gaps in our …

The application of molecular systematics to the parasitic Platyhelminthes (Cestoda, Digenea
and Monogenea) over the last decade has advanced our understanding of their …

Four hundred Gyrodactylus species have been formally described, but the estimated
number of species in this fish ectoparasite genus of Monogenean Platyhelminthes is more …

Host resistance to parasites is a rapidly evolving trait that can influence how hosts modify
ecosystems. Eco-evolutionary feedbacks may develop if the ecosystem effects of host …

Gyrodactylus rugiensis was originally described as a parasite occurring on the marine
gobies Pomatoschistus minutus and Pomatoschistus microps. In our preliminary survey this …

Three new species of Gyrodactylus are described from three species of bitterling in Donghu
Lake, China: Gyrodactylus ocellorhodei n. sp. from Rhodeus ocellatus; G. sinenorhodei n …

Nucleotide sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacers (ITS) were
used to confirm morphological identification of Gyrodactylus species in Fennoscandia. Three …

We investigated the Gyrodactylus ectoparasites on relict fishes in the isolated endorheic
Central Asian Internal drainage basin in Mongolia (The Hollow) and placed them into the …

Using species-level phylogenies, the speciation mode of Gyrodactylus species infecting a
single host genus was evaluated. Eighteen Gyrodactylus species were collected from …

Yili River system hosts a diverse fauna of fishes and parasites. Gymnodiptychus dybowskii is
a rare and endangered aboriginal cold-water fish inhabit in the Yili river system. Our …
