| skin lesions on yellowfin tuna thunnus albacares from gulf of mexico outer continental shelf: morphological, molecular, and histological diagnosis of infection by a capsalid monogenoid. | we characterize lesion-associated capsaline infections on yellowfin tuna, thunnus albacares, in the gulf of mexico by comparing our specimens with published descriptions and museum specimens ascribed to capsala biparasiticum and its synonyms: vouchers of c. biparasiticum from parasitic copepods; the holotype of capsala neothunni; and vouchers of capsala abidjani. those from parasitic copepods differed by having a small, rounded body, large anterior attachment organs, closely spaced dorsomarginal ... | 2015 | 26277272 |
| molecules infer origins of ectoparasite infrapopulations on tuna. | infrapopulation genetic variation of the oioxenous, hermaphroditic flatworm nasicola klawei (monogenea: capsalidae) infecting the nasal cavities of nine yellowfin tuna, thunnus albacares, from the gulf of mexico was analyzed using the first internal transcribed spacer (its1) single strand conformation polymorphism (sscp), its1 sequencing, and amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp). of a total of 32 worms, six had unique its1-sscp types and the rest was grouped by three types. two worms of ... | 2011 | 21840416 |
| the oncomiracidium of nasicola klawei (monogenea: capasalidae: capsalinae). | the oncomiracidium of the capsaline nasicola klawei (monogenea: capsalidae), adults of which were collected from the nares of the yellowfin tuna thunnus albacares (scombridae) caught off nelson bay on the east coast of australia, is described. this is a new locality record for n. klawei. this is the first description of an oncomiracidium of a nasicola species and only the third time the larva of a capsaline species has been documented. the oncomiracidium of n. klawei is distinguished from others ... | 2007 | 16941186 |
