| novel infection site and ecology of cryptic didymocystis sp. (trematoda) in the fish scomberomorus maculatus. | an undescribed, cryptic species of didymocystis, as determined from sequences of 2 ribosomal genes and superficially similar to didymocystis scomberomori ( maccallum and maccallum, 1916 ), infected the skin of the spanish mackerel, scomberomorus maculatus , in the north-central gulf of mexico (gom). an analysis of 558 fish from 2011 to 2013 from louisiana, mississippi, alabama, and the florida panhandle showed the prevalence of the trematode varied both spatially and temporally but not with sex ... | 2016 | 26981762 |

(philometridae), is described from male and female specimens found in the ovary of the atlantic spanish mackerel, scomberomorus maculatus (mitchill) (scombridae, perciformes), off the atlantic coast of florida and south carolina. based on light and scanning electron microscopy examination, the new species differs from most other gonad-infecting philometra spp. in the length of spicules (111-126 μm), number and arrangement of genital papillae, a ... | 2013 | 23066819 |
