Monogeneans of West African cichlid fish: Evolution and cophylogenetic interactions
Original language description
African cichlid fish are parasitized by five genera of monogeneans belonging to the Dactylogyridea, Cichlidogyrus, Scutogyrus, Onchobdella, Enterogyrus and Urogyrus. While Enterogyrus and Urogyrus are mesoparasitic monogeneans of cichlids, Cichlidogyrus,Scutogyrus and Onchobdella are ectoparasites located on the gills of fish. Cichlidogyrus is the most diverse genus of monogeneans parasitizing cichlid fish distributed among a wide range of fish species. Scutogyrus species are restricted to mouthbrooders of the genus Sarotherodon and Oreochromis. The objectives of this study were to investigate phylogenetic and evolutionary patterns of West African cichlid fish and their Cichlidogyrus and Scutogyrus monogenean parasites to assess host-parasite cophylogenetic history and reveal the presence of host-parasite cospeciation, and to investigate the link between morphology of the attachment apparatus and parasite phylogeny.
