Abstract Dactylogyrus species (Dactylogyridae: Monogenea) are a group of monogenean
gill parasites that are highly specific to freshwater fish of the family Cyprinidae. Dactylogyrus …

Presenting new molecular and scanning electron microscope (SEM) features, this study
gives additional data to the better knowledge of Thaparocleidus vistulensis (Siwak, 1932) …

Background The phylogenetic relationships of dactylogyrids (Monogenea: Dactylogyridae)
parasitising catfishes (Siluriformes) from the Neotropical region were investigated for the first …

The goals of this paper were to investigate phylogenetic and evolutionary patterns of cichlid
fish from West Africa and their Cichlidogyrus and Scutogyrus monogenean parasites, to …

We studied the systematics of 14 species of monogenean (Ancyrocephalidae) gill parasites
from West African tilapiine hosts (Cichlidae) using both morphological and genetic data …

Invasive species are a major threat to biodiversity. In Madagascar, one quarter of freshwater
fish fauna consist of introduced species. The introduction of non-native species affects native …

Dactylogyridae is one of the most studied families of parasitic flatworms with more than 1000
