Diversity of larval stages of the family Gryporhynchidae (Cestoda: Cyclophyllidea) in cichlid fish (Perciformes: Cichlidae) from southern Africa
Original language description
Tapeworms of the family Gryporhynchidae (Cestoda: Cyclophyllidea) are cosmopolitan parasites of fish-eating birds such as herons, ibises and cormorants. Gryporhynchids are unique among cyclophyllidean cestodes in using fish as their second intermediate hosts; planktonic crustaceans (copepods) serve as the first intermediate hosts. Even though the first species currently placed in this family, Paradilepis scolecina, was described as early as in 1819, the present knowledge of the taxonomy, life cycles and ecology of gryporhynchids and pathogenic influence of larvae on their fish hosts is rather limited. In this study, gryporhynchid larvae (metacestodes) found in cichlids from three African states (Burundi, South Africa and Zimbabwe) have been studied.
