A PHYLOGENETIC PERSPECTIVE ON SPECIES DIVERSITY: CICHLIDOGYRUS (DACTYLOGYRIDAE) PARASITIZING LAKE TANGANYIKA CICHLID TRIBES
Original language description
Lake Tanganyika, the deepest and 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 model to study adaptive radiation and rapid diversification. Because of the apparently high host specificity of gill monogeneans, there is an increasing interest to use phylogenetic analysis based on the molecular data of these parasites in order to study their host’s diversity, evolution and host-parasite interactions. Based on our knowledge on freshwater fish monogeneans, we can confirm that the Lake Tanganyika cichlid fish harbor more parasites than cichlid species as suggested in the past. Currently, African cichlids can host five different genera of dactylogyrideans, Cichlidogyrus being the most diverse with more than 95 species recorded from more than 70 cichlid hosts. Members of Cichlidogyrus are gill ectoparasites.
