| species of gyrodactylus von nordmann, 1832 (platyhelminthes: monogenea) from cichlids from zambezi and limpopo river basins in zimbabwe and south africa: evidence for unexplored species richness. | new findings on gyrodactylus spp. parasitising african cichlids in southern africa are presented, comprising data from zimbabwe and south africa. morphometry of opisthaptoral hard parts in combination with nuclear ribosomal dna sequences confirmed the presence of six species of gyrodactylus von nordmann, 1832. three new species are described from fishes in zimbabwe: gyrodactylus chitandiri n. sp. from the gill arches of coptodon rendalli (boulenger) and pseudocrenilabrus philander (weber); gyrod ... | 2016 | 27522367 |
| first description of monogenean parasites in lake tanganyika: the cichlid simochromis diagramma (teleostei, cichlidae) harbours a high diversity of gyrodactylus species (platyhelminthes, monogenea). | lake tanganyika harbours the most diverse endemic cichlid fish assemblage of africa, but its monogenean fish parasites have not been investigated. here we report, for the first time, on the gyrodactylus parasites in this hotspot of fish biodiversity. haptor morphometrics and nuclear ribosomal dna sequences revealed 3 new species on zambian simochromis diagramma: gyrodactylus sturmbaueri n. sp., g. thysi n. sp. and g. zimbae n. sp. their distinct morphology and strong genetic differentiation sugg ... | 2010 | 20946697 |
