A preliminary phylogenetic analysis of dactylogyrids (Monogenea) parasitizing African tetras
Original language description
The order Characiformes is one of the largest and most diverse components of the Neotropical and African ichthyofaunas. African freshwaters harbour more than 200 characiform species currently arrayed in four families: Alestidae (118 species), Citharinidae (8 species), Distichodontidae (101 species), and Hepsetidae (5 species). Alestidae, often called African tetras, are known to be parasitized by monogenean platyhelminths representing three genera: Annulotrema (39 species), Characidotrema (10 species), and Afrocleidodiscus (1 species). During field trips (2007 – 2015) we sampled 11 species of African tetras (Alestes baremoze, A. dentex, Arnoldichthys spilopterus, Brycinus imberi, B. leuciscus, B. nurse, Hydrocynus forskahlii, H. brevis, H. vittatus, Micralestes accutidens, M. elongatus), and revealed the presence of monogeneans belonging to three genera within the Dactylogyridae: Annulotrema (19 species), Characidotrema (5 species), and Afrocleidodiscus (1 species).
