| cystacanths of bolbosoma vasculosum in the black scabbard fish aphanopus carbo, oceanic horse mackerel trachurus picturatus and common dolphin delphinus delphis from madeira, portugal. | cystacanths of the acanthocephalan, bolbosoma vasculosum rudolphi 1819, were found to be encapsulated in the connective tissues of the viscera of the black scabbard fish, aphanopus carbo and oceanic horse mackerel, trachurus picturatusfrom madeira, atlantic ocean. juvenile worms were obtained from the intestine of a stranded common dolphin, delphinus delphis, also from madeira. cystacanths were 11-15 mm long, with a proboscis of 18-19 longitudinal rows, eight hooks per row, and two sets of trunk ... | 2000 | 10881281 |
| additional records of metazoan parasites from caribbean marine mammals, including genetically identified anisakid nematodes. | studies of marine mammal parasites in the caribbean are scarce. an assessment for marine mammal endo- and ectoparasites from puerto rico and the virgin islands, but extending to other areas of the caribbean, was conducted between 1989 and 1994. the present study complements the latter and enhances identification of anisakid nematodes using molecular markers. parasites were collected from 59 carcasses of stranded cetaceans and manatees from 1994 to 2006, including globicephala macrorhynchus, kogi ... | 2009 | 19582477 |
| metazoan parasite infection in the swordfish, xiphias gladius, from the mediterranean sea and comparison with atlantic populations: implications for its stock characterization. | thirteen parasite taxa were identified in the mediterranean swordfish by morphological and genetic/molecular methods. the comparison of the identified parasite taxa and parasitic infection values observed in the mediterranean swordfish showed statistically significant differences with respect to those reported for its atlantic populations. a stepwise linear discriminant analysis of the individual fish examined showed a separation among three groups: one including fish from the mediterranean sea ... | 2014 | 25057787 |
| endohelminth parasites of the blacktail comber serranus atricauda (pisces: serranidae), from madeira archipelago (atlantic ocean). | four different endohelminth parasite taxa were found in the viscera of the blacktail comber serranus atricauda günther, 1874 caught in the madeira archipelago. nematodes were the dominant group, represented by 2 different taxa, hysterothylacium spp. ward & magath, 1917 and procamallanus (spirocamallanus) halitrophus fusco & overstreet, 1978 comb. n. plerocerci of the trypanorhynch pseudogrillotia epinepheli (synonym: grillotia epinepheli) scholz, garippa & scala, 1993, and cystacanths of the aca ... | 2013 | 23482385 |
| Helminth parasites of the oceanic horse mackerel Trachurus picturatus Bowdich 1825 (Pisces: Carangidae) from Madeira Island, Atlantic Ocean, Portugal. | The helminth parasite fauna of the oceanic horse mackerel Trachurus picturatus Bowdich 1825, caught off the Madeira Islands was composed of six different taxa. Prevalence and abundance of larval Anisakis sp. (Nematoda: Anisakidae) and Nybelinia lingualis (Trypanorhyncha: Tentaculariidae), the most common parasite taxa, were 24.3%, 0.9 and 37.9%, 0.7, respectively. Bolbosoma vasculosum (Acanthocephala: Polymorphidae) and the monogeneans Heteraxinoides atlanticus (Monogenea: Heteraxinidae) and Pse ... | 2011 | 21875447 |
| molecular phylogeny of the acanthocephala (class palaeacanthocephala) with a paraphyletic assemblage of the orders polymorphida and echinorhynchida. | acanthocephalans are attractive candidates as model organisms for studying the ecology and co-evolutionary history of parasitic life cycles in the marine ecosystem. adding to earlier molecular analyses of this taxon, a total of 36 acanthocephalans belonging to the classes archiacanthocephala (3 species), eoacanthocephala (3 species), palaeacanthocephala (29 species), polyacanthocephala (1 species) and rotifera as outgroup (3 species) were analyzed by using bayesian inference and maximum likeliho ... | 2011 | 22163005 |
| helminth component community of the loggerhead sea turtle, caretta caretta, from madeira archipelago, portugal. | the helminth fauna of pelagic-stage loggerhead sea turtles, caretta caretta, is still poorly known. here, we describe the helminth-component community of healthy, free-ranging juvenile loggerhead sea turtles captured in the waters around madeira island, portugal. fifty-seven were used in this study. the esophagus, stomach, intestine, liver, gallbladder, spleen, kidneys, trachea, bronchi, urinary bladder, heart, left and right aortas, and coelomic cavity were macroscopically inspected; organs and ... | 2009 | 18576835 |
| gastrointestinal helminths of cuvier's beaked whales, ziphius cavirostris, from the western mediterranean. | we examined the gastrointestinal helminth fauna of 2 cuvier's beaked whales, ziphius cavirostris, stranded on the spanish mediterranean coast. information regarding intestinal parasites of this species is provided for the first time. six helminth taxa were identified. thirty type ii larvae of the nematode anisakis sp. were found in the stomach and the intestine of both hosts; 2 type i larvae of anisakis sp. were found in the intestine of 1 host. one juvenile of the acanthocephalan bolbosoma vasc ... | 2004 | 15165073 |
