Parasite factors associated with recognition and selection of the host and the mechanisms in
the host responsible for acceptance or rejection of the invading organism were evaluated …

Monogeneans (flatworms) are among the most host-specific of parasites in general and may
be the most host-specific of all fish parasites. Specificity, in terms of a restricted spatial …

If the cestodes are excluded, then the parasitic platyhelminths of fishes divide neatly into the
external and monoxenous Monogenea and the internal and heteroxenous Digenea. Both …

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

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 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 …

Abstract Cichlidogyrus spp.(Monogenea, Ancyrocephalidae) are common parasites of
cichlid fishes from Africa and the Levant. They display important morphological variation in …

Monogeneans are highly diverse fish ectoparasites with a direct life cycle, widely distributed,
and are known to generally display strict host specificity. Factors related to the hosts and the …

This comprehensive research study was conducted to determine the monogenean fauna of
16 fish species belonging to Cyprinidae, Mugilidae, Gobiidae, Percidae, Cyprinodontidae …

In this study, performed in April, July, September, and October 2011 and January 2012 in the
northeastern Aegean Sea near Gökçeada in Turkey, 14 species of monogenean trematodes …
