Monogenean fauna of deepwater cichlids in Lake Tanganyika: Do they follow the evolutionary history of their hosts?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Lake Tanganyika is a well-known study area localized in the African Rift Valley. It is a remarkable place famous for adaptive radiation processes of many taxa including cichlids (Cichlidae; Perciformes). Surprisingly, research focusing on the parasitic fauna of Tanganyika cichlids has been overlooked for many decades, but has been intensified during the last five years. To date, there are still only 25 formally described parasite species of the class Monogenea (Platyhelminthes) reported to infect cichlids of Lake Tanganyika. Monogeneans are monoxenous ectoparasites characterising by a relatively high degree of host specificity. One of the species named Cichlidogyrus casuarinus displays a decrease in host preference, suggested to be an adaptation to low host availability. It was already collected from three representatives of the tribe Bathybatini.
