Tiny worms from a mighty continent: high diversity and new phylogenetic lineages of African monogeneans
Original language description
The phylogenetic relationships between gyrodactylid monogeneans of African freshwater fishes and other representatives of Gyrodactylidae, covering a wide range of species and genera from both freshwater and marine systems were investigated. New completeSSU RNA sequences of 18 gyrodactylid species of eight genera together with ITS rRNA gene sequences of 8 species representing 7 genera were generated and complemented with GenBank sequences. The maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses pointed to a paraphyletic nature of African Gyrodactylus species. They formed well-supported clades possibly indicating speciation within host taxa: 1) parasites of cichlids (Cichlidae); 2) parasites of catfishes (Siluriformes), consisting of a lineage infecting mochokidsand one infecting clariids. Macrogyrodactylus spp. firmly clustered into a monophyletic group. The phylogenetic position of Diplogyrodactylus and Afrogyrodactylus was not well resolved.
