| neuromusculature of gyrodactylus rysavyi, a monogenean gill and skin parasite of the catfish clarias gariepinus. | phalloidin fluorescence technique, enzyme cytochemistry and immunocytochemistry in conjunction with confocal scanning laser microscopy were used for the first time to describe the nervous and muscle systems of the viviparous monogenean parasite, gyrodactylus rysavyi inhabiting the gills and skin of the nile catfish clarias gariepinus. the body wall muscles are composed of an outer layer of circular fibres, an intermediate layer of paired longitudinal fibres and an inner layer of well-spaced band ... | 2007 | 17662646 |
| an overview of the gyrodactylus (monogenea: gyrodactylidae) species parasitizing african catfishes, and their morphological and molecular diversity. | an overview of gyrodactylus infecting catfishes from the african continent is provided, including new data from sudan, senegal, kenya and mozambique. haptoral sclerite morphometry and nuclear ribosomal dna sequences revealed the presence of eight gyrodactylus species. on senegalese synodontis nigrita, gyrodactylus synodonti n. sp. and gyrodactylus nigritae n. sp. are described. these are the first reports of gyrodactylid parasites from mochokid hosts. from the fins of north african catfish clari ... | 2011 | 21850451 |
