| the life cycle of paracardicoloides yamagutii martin, 1974 (digenea: sanguinicolidae). | the sanguinicolids paracardicoloides yamagutii martin, 1974 and plethorchis acanthus martin, 1975 were obtained from their definitive hosts, anguilla reinhardtii steindachner and mugil cephalus linnaeus (respectively) in the tributaries of the brisbane river, queensland, australia. two putative sanguinicolid cercariae were collected from a hydrobiid gastropod, posticobia brazieri smith, in the same waters. the two cercariae differ markedly in size and the form of their sporocysts. both putative ... | 2004 | 15729944 |
| new genus and species of aporocotylidae (digenea) from a basal actinopterygian, the american paddlefish, polyodon spathula, (acipenseriformes: polyodontidae) from the mississippi delta. | acipensericola petersoni n. gen., n. sp. (digenea: aporocotylidae) infects the heart of the american paddlefish polyodon spathula (walbaum, 1792) in the mississippi delta. it has robust, spike-like body spines arranged in ventrolateral transverse rows; a bowl-shaped anterior sucker centered on the mouth and having minute spines on the inner anteroventral surface only; a pharynx; an inverse u-shaped ceca extending to near the posterior body end; intercecal testes comprising a pre-ovarian testicul ... | 2008 | 18564750 |
| two new species of elopicola (digenea: aporocotylidae) from hawaiian ladyfish, elops hawaiensis (eastern sea) and atlantic tarpon, megalops atlanticus (gulf of mexico) with a comment on monophyly of elopomorph blood flukes. | elopicola bristowi sp. n. infects the blood vascular system of hawaiian ladyfish, elops hawaiensis, in the eastern sea. it differs from the only nominal congener elopicola nolancribbi by the combination of having rows of ventrolateral tegumental spines, a proportionally long oesophagus, anterior caeca, vasa efferentia coalescing ventral to the posterodextral margin of the testis, a post-testicular metraterm, a dextral common genital pore lateral to the oötype, and genitalia that are enantiomorph ... | 2017 | 28263882 |
| blood flukes (digenea: aporocotylidae) of elopomorphs: emendation of paracardicoloides, supplemental observations of paracardicoloides yamagutii, and a new genus and species from ladyfish, elops saurus, (elopiformes: elopidae) in the gulf of mexico. | monotypic paracardicoloides martin, 1974 is emended based on supplemental observations of 2 voucher specimens of paracardicoloides yamagutii martin, 1974 . features of the anterior sucker, esophagus, and intestine as well as the male and female genitalia previously attributed to, or omitted from the diagnosis and description of, this fluke are resolved and further detailed herein. the holotype of p. yamagutii, originally deposited in the allan hancock parasitology collection, apparently has been ... | 2014 | 24467621 |
