Onchocleidus dispar (Mueller, 1936) (Monogenea: Ancyrocephalinae) on the largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides in South Africa: a transcontinental traveller
Original language description
The largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides (Lacepede, 1802) is an alien invasive species in South Africa (SA) that was introduced into the country in 1928 from England. Interestingly, these fish were originally bred in Holland. Following introduction it was stocked for angling throughout SA. In North America, its native range, M. salmoides host several monogenean species. The aim of this study was thus to determine whether any of these monogeneans were introduced via its hosts into SA. Micropterus salmoides were collected during October 2014 from Boskop Dam, North-West Province, SA and screened for gill monogeneans. High prevalence (100%) as well as intensity of infections (up to 400 parasites per host) was found, without noticeable signs of pathological changes to the gills. Based on the morphometrics of the hard structures of the attachment organs, these monogeneans were identified as Onchocleidus dispar (Mueller, 1936). South African specimens were also compared with specimens of O.
