The tapeworms of fishes (Chondrichthyes and Actinopterygii) account one-third (1670 from
around 5000) of the total tapeworm (Platyhelminthes: Cestoda) species diversity. In total …

The metazoan parasite community and the stomach contents of the nursehound shark
Scyliorhinus stellaris from the Gulf of Naples (central Mediterranean Sea) were studied. The …

Sharks play a key role in the functioning of marine ecosystems and maintenance of trophic
web balance, including life cycles of parasites co-occurring in their habitats. We investigated …

 Abstract A parasite-host list of cestodes parasitizing chondrichthyans in the Southwest
Atlantic off Argentina and surrounding waters of Antarctica is compiled based on the …

This paper aims to expand understanding of a poorly known group of cestodes that
parasitize an intriguingly diverse suite of elasmobranchs. The group's three currently …

Appropriate diagnoses of parasites of apex marine predators are crucial to understand their
biodiversity, host specificity, biogeography, and life cycles. Such diagnoses are also …

Elasmobranch populations are in steep decline mainly due to overfishing bycatch, but
parasites may accelerate the collapse of vulnerable and/or highly parasitized species. We …

Three new species of Rockacestus Caira, Bueno & Jensen, 2021 were recovered from
arhynchobatid skates taken between 37° S–55° S in the Magellanic Province, Southwestern …
