Gyrodactylus spp. diversity on African Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822): the result of co-evolutionary strategy?

Original language description

Sharptooth catfish, Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822), is widely distributed in Africa with the exception of Maghreb, Upper Guinea and Cape provinces of South Africa. This species was introduced into many countries mainly for aquaculture purposes. On the African continent, C. gariepinus is currently known to be a host to seven species of the genus Gyrodactylus von Nordmann, 1832 (Gyrodactylidae). During the period August 2011 ? November 2014, several localities were sampled to establish gyrodactylid parasite diversity in the southern African region. In total 31 specimens of C. gariepinus were collected on several spots in South Africa (Flag-Boshielo Dam, Loskop Dam, Sand and Barota River in Limpopo Province; Mooi River and Barberspan Dam, North- WestProv.) and Zimbabwe (Zambezi River and Lake Kariba). The Gyrodactylus prevalence was noted to be 45%.
