CICHLIDOGYRUS (DACTYLOGYRIDAE) FROM LAKE TANGANYIKA: A PHYLOGENETIC APPROACH OF THE MONOGENEAN PARASITE FAUNA OF TANGANYIKA CICHLID TRIBES
Original language description
Lake Tanganyika, the oldest lake in Africa, harbors the most genetically, morphologically and ecologically diverse cichlid assemblages of the African Great Lakes. Its mostly endemic cichlids are considered as a model to study adaptive radiation and rapiddiversification. Because of the apparently high host specificity of gill monogeneans, phylogenetic studies using molecular data of these parasites offer an interesting additional approach to study their host?s diversity, evolution and host-parasite interactions. Cichlids in Africa are known to host five different genera of dactylogyridean, Cichlidogyrus being the most diverse with more than 95 species recorded from more than 70 cichlids. Members of Cichlidogyrus are gill ectoparasites. To recognize different species of Cichlidogyrus, morphological data (haptor and male copulatory organs (MCO)) in addition to molecular sequence analyses are used.
