| otobothrium cysticum (cestoda: trypanorhyncha) from the muscle of butterfishes (stromateidae). | on the basis of the tentacular armature, surface ultrastructure, and morphological measurements of plerocerci obtained from the musculature of butterfishes (stromateidae), we corroborate an earlier proposal that otobothrium crenacolle, a commonly reported trypanorhynch cestode from the northwestern atlantic coast, is a junior synonym of o. cysticum. this action exemplifies at least an atlantic ocean and indian ocean distribution for o. cysticum. the infection in commercially important butterfish ... | 2000 | 10669135 |
| overdispersion in marine fish parasites. | a modification of taylor's power law was used to compare the degree of overdispersion in frequency distributions from 38 datasets of marine parasites, data that had originally been collected for fish stock discrimination. the results strongly indicate that the overriding factor contributing to overdispersion in these helminths and crustaceans is the number of hosts in the life cycle. this was particularly well shown by juveniles of anisakis 1 from different fish species. data on the cestode otob ... | 2012 | 22390836 |
| sensory receptors and surface ultrastructure of trypanorhynch cestodes. | the scolices of six different trypanorhynch species--heteronybelinia alloiotica (dollfus, 1960), pseudolacistorhynchus noodti palm, 1995, otobothrium cysticum (mayer, 1842), o. penetrans linton, 1907, poecilancistrum caryophyllum (diesing, 1850), and prochristianella hispida (linton, 1890)--were examined for surface morphology and the occurrence of sensory receptors. filamentous microtriches with different internal ultrastructural features were found. acerosate, hook-like, and spiniform microtri ... | 2000 | 11068815 |
