There are approximately 25 000 species of fishes known in the world. The Monogenea are
believed to be among the most host-specific of parasites and if each species of fish is host to …

This review is the first to draw together knowledge about bioadhesives secreted by a group
of parasites. Mechanisms of mechanical attachment are well known among parasites, but …

The current classification of the Monocotylidae (Monogenea) is based on a phylogeny
generated from morphological characters. The present study tests the morphological …

There has been no comprehensive review of the infective larval stage (oncomiracidium) in
the direct life-cycle of monogeneans since Llewellyn (1963, 1968). In the last 30 years …

This paper contains a brief history of studies on monogeneans of Chinese marine fishes and
a list of 337 monogenean species, together with their marine hosts and notes on the sea in …

Metazoan symbionts have significantly impacted captive chondrichthyans. However,
although disease in these fishes could be caused by numerous parasite taxa under unusual …

A total of 153 elasmobranchs (46 species), either freshly collected from the Gulf of Mexico,
USA and Tasmania, Australia or museum specimens collected from various localities …

Monocotylid monogeneans inhabit a wide diversity of sites on their chondrichthyan hosts
including the skin, gills, nasal fossae, urogenital system and coelom. The large variation in …

Eighteen monocotylid species were collected from elasmobranchs during surveys of the
parasites of fishes of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. Two new species, Calicotyle …
