| synchronization of occurrence of the ovarian philometrid, philometra carolinensis, with the spawning season of its fish host, the spotted seatrout, cynoscion nebulosus. | the philometrid philometra carolinensis inhabits the ovaries of the spotted seatrout, cynoscion nebulosus. a 2-year study in estuaries of south carolina showed that each year adult female worms were present only during the spawning season of the host and that only sexually mature fish were infected. overall prevalence was 13.1%. young-of-the-year fish were uninfected and mature 1-year-old fish were less frequently infected than older fish. abundance of the philometrid was significantly different ... | 2009 | 19093133 |
| two new species of philometra (nematoda: philometridae) parasitic in the perciform fish cynoscion nebulosus (sciaenidae) in the estuaries of south carolina, usa. | two new nematode species of philometra costa, 1845, p. carolinensis sp. n. and p. cynoscionis sp. n., are described from the spotted seatrout, cynoscion nebulosus (cuvier) (sciaenidae, perciformes) in estuaries on the atlantic coast of south carolina, usa. philometra carolinensis (males and gravid and subgravid females) parasitic in the host's ovary is most similar to p. lateolabracis (yamaguti, 1935) in female morphology, but distinctly differs from it in possessing conspicuously short spicules ... | 2006 | 16696433 |
