Monogeneans (Dactylogyridae) from the gills of African tetras (Characiformes: Alestidae) in Kenya and Zimbabwe
Original language description
The Alestidae, often called African characids (or tetras), is the most speciose (with about 120 species) family of characiform fishes in Africa. These fish hosts are known to harbor monogeneans representing 3 genera of the Dactylogyridae, namely Afrocleidodiscus Annulotrema and Characidotrema. Current evidence based on morphological data suggests that species of the two last genera have evolutionary relationships with species parasitizing Neotropical characiform fishes, i.e. those of Annulotrematoides and Jainus, respectively. During several field campaigns (2005 ? 2012) in Kenya, Senegal, Sudan and Zimbabwe, a total of 15 species of the Alestidae have been examined for monogeneans and more than 30 species (3 genera) of the Dactylogyridae were found. Our current research deals with the taxonomic evaluation of monogeneans collected in Turkana Lake (Kenya) and Kariba Lake and Zambezi River (Zimbabwe).
