Although parasites are widely touted as representing a large fraction of the Earth's total
biodiversity, several questions remain about the magnitude of parasite diversity, our ability to …

We use a new molecular phylogeny, developed from small and large subunit ribosomal
RNA genes, to explore evolution of the digenean life cycle. Our approach is to map …

This comprehensive, groundbreaking book on the biodiversity of parasites offers a clear and
accessible explanation of how parasite biodiversity provides insight into the history and …

Four hundred Gyrodactylus species have been formally described, but the estimated
number of species in this fish ectoparasite genus of Monogenean Platyhelminthes is more …

To test the hypothesis that host-switching can be an important step in the speciation of
gyrodactylid monogenean flatworms, we inferred the phylogeny within a cluster of parasites …

The combination of exceptionally high species diversity, high host specificity, and a complex
reproduction system raises many questions about the underlying mechanisms triggering …

Genomic resources for Platyhelminthes of the class Monogenea are scarce, despite the
diversity of these parasites, some species of which are highly pathogenic to their fish hosts …

Global distribution of platyhelminth parasites and their host specificities are not well known.
Our hypothesis was that platyhelminth parasites of large pelagic fishes are common around …

Effective border control relies on stringent biosecurity protocols to detect and prevent
introductions of exotic pests and diseases. Detection of pathogens and parasites in the live …

This study highlights the value of museum collections in invasion biology. It focuses on
introduced tilapias, Oreochromis niloticus and Coptodon rendalli in the Congo Basin and …
