| proteocephalid tapeworms (cestoda: onchoproteocephalidea) of loaches (cobitoidea): evidence for monophyly and high endemism of parasites in the far east. | the parasite fauna of loaches (cypriniformes: cobitoidea), a group of small bottom-dwelling freshwater fishes with a mostly eurasian distribution, remains a largely unknown quantity. here we revise the taxonomy of tapeworms of the genus proteocephalus weinland, 1858 (cestoda: proteocephalidae) that had been found in loaches from the palaearctic region (central europe, japan and russia [primorsky region]). molecular phylogenetic analysis based on two nuclear (ssr- and lsrdna) and two mitochondria ... | 2017 | 27702602 |
