Dactylogyrids (Monogenea) parasitizing African tetras (Characiformes: Alestidae) in Zimbabwe
Original language description
The Alestidae, often called ?African tetras?, is the most speciose (with about 120 species) family of characiform fishes in Africa. These fishes are known to be parasitized by monogeneans representing 3 genera of the Dactylogyridae: Annulotrema, Characidotrema and Afrocleidodiscus. During several field campaigns in Senegal (2004 ? 2008), Kenya (2008 - 2009), Sudan (2008) and Zimbabwe (2011 ? 2012), a total of 15 species of the Alestidae have been examined for monogeneans and more than 30 monogenean species (3 genera) of the Dactylogyridae were found. Our current research dealing with the taxonomic evaluation of monogeneans collected from 2 species (2 genera, i.e. Hydrocynus and Brycinus) of the Alestidae from the Kariba Lake and Zambezi River in Zimbabwe revealed the presence of 6 species of Annulotrema and 1 species of Afrocleidodiscus. Three species of them are probably new for science.
