Evolution and diversification of cichlid parasites
Original language description
African freshwater fish of Cichlidae are parasitized by five genera of monogeneans belonging to the Dactylogyridea (Cichlidogyrus, Scutogyrus, Onchobdella, Enterogyrus and Urogyrus). Cichlidogyrus is the most diverse genus of monogeneans parasitizing cichlid fish distributed among a wide range of cichlid species. Scutogyrus species are restricted to mouthbrooders of the genus Sarotherodon and Oreochromis. The objectives of this study were to perform phylogenetic analyses of monogeneans parasitizing cichlid fish in West Africa based on ribosomal DNA sequences, to investigate phylogenetic relationships within West African cichlid fish based on mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences and to assess host-parasite cophylogenetic history and reveal the presenceof host-parasite cospeciation. All phylogenetic analyses showed the monophyletic origin of the Cichlidogyrus/Scutogyrus group, and suggested that Cichlidogyrus is polyphyletic and Scutogyrus is monophyletic.
