New gyrodactylid parasite from Moon fish, Citharinus citharus (Characiformes: Citharinidae) from the Kenyan Lake Turkana
Original language description
A parasitological survey during the period 2008-2010 revealed the presence of several gyrodatylids from freswater/brakish fish species collected from Lake Turkana (Northern Kenya).The current study focuses on the description of a new genus and species ofGyrodactylidae from the gills of Moon fish, Citharinus citharus (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire), which was initially reported as ?Gyrodactylus sp. 3? by Přikrylová et al. (2013). Morphological and molecular analyses revealed no similarities with previously known genera. Parasites present general Gyrodactylus-like body morphology, a round-shaped opisthaptor bearing sixteen marginal hooks and a single pair of hamuli, possessing a constriction at level of the hamulus point curve. Ventral bar is simple, without processes. Dorsal bar thin, with prominent attachment points.
