Gyrodactylus parasites on african cichlids: A view on species diversity, distribution, interspecific relationship and ecological patterns

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Gyrodactylus von Nordmann, 1832 (Monogenea:Gyrodactylidae) includes highly diverse ubiquitous viviparous monogeneans. These ectoparasites feed on mucus and epithelial cells of host fishes that can induce hyperplasia of affected tissues and increase the potential of subsequent secondary infections. To date, 33 Gyrodactylus species from hosts originating from nine host families have been described in Africa, but at least two species should be regarded as invalid. The present study summarizes ongoing research on Gyrodactylus species parasitizing African cichlids with emphasis on its diversity using an integrative approach (molecular sequences supported by morphometrical analysis), distribution and ecological patterns in the host-parasite system taking into account diverse environmental factors. Our findings of 10 undescribed Gyrodactylus species on cichlid hosts in different part of Africa significantly extend the knowledge on these parasites in terms of species richness and distribution.
