The monogenean fauna of selected deepwater cichlids in Lake Tanganyika

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Lake Tanganyika is an aquatic biodiversity hotspot with the most diverse cichlid species assemblage of all African lakes. This makes it an important and remarkable study area for biologists. Whereas over 20 monogenean species were described from littoralcichlids, the biodiversity of these ectoparasitic flatworms in the depths is almost unexplored. Our host dataset comprised 82 individuals from 12 cichlid species belonging to four tribes (Bathybatini, Trematocarini, Benthochromini, Limnochromini) occurring in the deepwater habitat. Samples originated from localities throughout the lake. A wide range of techniques and analyses was used to describe their monogenean infection from a morphological as well as a genetic point of view. Finally, 849 monogeneanindividuals from 8 host species were collected. Three different species belonging to Cichlidogyrus were distinguished. Members of the Bathybatini are infected by a single species, C. casuarinus.
