The application of molecular systematics to the parasitic Platyhelminthes (Cestoda, Digenea
and Monogenea) over the last decade has advanced our understanding of their …

The Capsalidae are monogeneans parasitizing 'skin', fins and gills of marine fishes. Some
capsalids are pathogenic to cultivated fish and a few have caused epizootic events. It is a …

This study focuses on the phylogenetic relationships within the Polyopisthocotylea and
Monopisthocotylea, two groups that are often grouped within the monogeneans, a group of …

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

A revised hypothesis for the phylogeny of the Subclass Polyonchoinea (Monogenoidea) was
contructed employing phylogenetic systematics. The Acanthocotylidae (formerly of the Order …

The immune system involves the complex interplay between many different cell types. Over
the last decade, T cells, dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages have all been implicated as …

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 …

Based on a molecular and morphological study, a new monocotylid genus,
Holocephalocotyle n. gen. is proposed to accommodate Holocephalocotyle monstrosae n …
