| trematodes from red sea fishes: neohypocreadium aegyptense n. sp. (lepocreadiidae), fairfaxia cribbi n. sp. and macvicaria chrysophrys (nagaty & abdel-aal, 1969) (opecoelidae). | specimens of the marine fishes chaetodon lineolatus (chaetodontidae), lethrinus nebulosus (lethrinidae) and acanthopagrus bifasciatus (sparidae) were caught in the red sea off the coast of sharm el-sheikh, south sinai, egypt. fifteen (75%), four (16%) and fourteen (35%) fish, respectively, were found to harbour intestinal trematodes. c. lineolatus was parasitised by neohypocreadium aegyptense n. sp. (lepocreadiidae), l. nebulosus by fairfaxia cribbi n. sp. (opecoelidae) and a. bifasciatus by mac ... | 2005 | 16315080 |

| studies on lethrinitrema lim & justine, 2011 (monogenea: dactylogyridae), with the description of two new species, a key to the genus and a phylogenetic analysis based on rdna sequences. | six species of lethrinitrema lim & justine, 2011, including two new taxa, are described from the gills of lethrinus nebulosus (forsskål) from the south china sea. lethrinitrema nebulosum n. sp. differs from all other members of the genus in possessing a copulatory organ with a short, distally recurved tube, a cup-shaped base and a thin accessory piece, arising from distal end of tube, junction inconspicuous. lethrinitrema zhanjiangense n. sp. can be distinguished from its congeners by possessing ... | 2014 | 24832184 |
| parasitic copepods from two species of commercial fishes collected off iraq, with description of hatschekia shari n. sp. | two species of parasitic copepods, including one new species, are described based on specimens collected from off basrah, iraq (arabian gulf). hatschekia shari n. sp. (siphonostomatoida: hatschekiidae) was found from the gill filaments of the spangled emperor lethrinus nebulosus (forsskål) (perciformes: lethrinidae). the new species is characterised by the following characters in the female: a rectangular cephalothorax with dorsal frame composed of two short and one long bifid longitudinal bars, ... | 2013 | 24163030 |
