molecular characterization of muscle-parasitizing didymozoid from a chub mackerel, scomber japonicus.	didymozoids found in the muscles of marine fish are almost always damaged because they are usually found after being sliced. therefore, identifying muscle-parasitizing didymozoids is difficult because of the difficulty in collecting non-damaged worms and observing their organs as key points for morphological identification. moreover, muscle-parasitizing didymozoids are not easily found because they parasitize at the trunk muscles. therefore, muscle-parasitizing didymozoid classification has not ...	2015	26204013
bucephalidae (digenea) from epinephelines (serranidae: perciformes) from the waters off new caledonia, including neidhartia lochepintade n. sp.	many bucephalid species, mainly of the subfamily prosorhynchinae, have been described from epinepheline serranids (groupers) throughout the world's oceans. in this paper eight named prosorhynchine species are described and/or illustrated from epinepheline fishes from new caledonia. neidhartia lochepintade n. sp. in epinephelus chlorostigma differs from other neidhartia spp. in various combinations of distinct body-size, rhynchus size, previtelline and pre-mouth distance, post-testicular distance ...	2013	24351242
are all species of pseudorhabdosynochus strictly host specific? a molecular study.	species of the diplectanid monogenean genus pseudorhabdosynochus are strictly host-specific (specialist), with the exception of p. cyanopodus, which was reported in new caledonia, south pacific, from two host species, epinephelus cyanopodus and e. chlorostigma. we sequenced the coi gene of both host fish species and of their monogeneans. morphological identification and pairwise distances showed that the two fish species were distinct (difference 6.1-6.6%), but that their monogeneans were not (d ...	2012	22326703
systematic status of philometra jordanoi (lópez-neyra, 1951) and some other congeneric species previously identified as philometra lateolabracis (yamaguti, 1935) (nematoda: philometridae).	the systematic status of the gonad-infecting philometra species previously reported as p. lateolabracis (yamaguti, 1935) from marine fishes in the mediterranean region and off new caledonia is evaluated with respect to the recent redescription of p. lateolabracis from the type host in japan. philometra jordanoi (lópez-neyra, 1951) is revalidated to accommodate the nematodes from epinephelus marginatus, whereas the philometrids from other european hosts (mycteroperca rubra and seriola dumerili), ...	2008	18666421
a revision of the family dissonidae kurtz, 1924 (copepoda: siphonostomatoida).	two new species of the parasitic copepod genus dissonus wilson, 1906 are described: d. excavatus n. sp. from the gills of a labrid, bodianus perditio, and a lutjanid, macolor niger, collected off new caledonia and taiwan, and d. inaequalis n. sp. from a hemiscylliid elasmobranch, chiloscyllium punctatum, collected off sarawak (malaysia) and the philippines. material of d. heronensis kabata, 1966 is described from a balistid host, pseudobalistes fuscus, off new caledonia, and this constitutes a n ...	2008	18427956
prosorhynchus maternus sp. n. (digenea: bucephalidae) from the malabar grouper epinephelus malabaricus (perciformes: serranidae) off new caledonia.	a new species, prosorhynchus maternus sp. n., is described from the serranid fish epinephelus malabaricus (bloch et schneider) in the waters off new caledonia. it belongs to a group of prosorhynchus species from serranids in which the uterus is restricted to the postovarian region. its distinguishing features include the vitellarium relatively distant from the rhynchus, the cirrus-sac relatively distant from the posterior testis, the distinctly pre-equatorial mouth and several other somatic rati ...	2006	17120498
