| comparative phylogeography reveals host generalists, specialists and cryptic diversity: hexabothriid, microbothriid and monocotylid monogeneans from rhinobatid rays in southern australia. | the phylogeography and host specificity of three monogenean species infecting different sites on the southern fiddler ray, trygonorrhina fasciata (rhinobatidae) in south australia (sa) were studied: branchotenthes octohamatus (hexabothriidae: gills), calicotyle australis (monocotylidae: cloaca) and pseudoleptobothrium aptychotremae (microbothriidae: skin). five rhinobatid species (aptychotrema vincentiana, t. fasciata, trygonorrhina sp. a, aptychotrema rostrata and rhinobatos typus) with distrib ... | 2008 | 18621052 |
| experimental infections, using a fluorescent marker, of two elasmobranch species by unciliated larvae of branchotenthes octohamatus (monogenea: hexabothriidae): invasion route, host specificity and post-larval development. | the infection biology of branchotenthes octohamatus (monogenea: hexabothriidae) from the gills of the southern fiddler ray, trygonorrhina fasciata (rhinobatidae), was studied using the fluorescent dye, 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein diacetate n-succinimidyl ester (cfse). this is the first use of this technique on a monogenean species with unciliated larvae and the first for any monogenean larva infecting an elasmobranch host. cfse-labelled post-larvae were recovered from gills of t. fasciata within 30 ... | 2007 | 17381886 |
