Evolutionary relationships of sibling tapeworm species (Cestoda) parasitizing teleost fishes.
DNA/DNA hybridization and sequencing of rDNA (partial 18S rDNA and ITS1) were used to investigate phylogenetic relationships among seven host-specific Bothriocephalus parasites (Cestoda, Pseudophyllidae). The small nucleotide divergence between six of the seven bothriocephalids suggests that isolation and differentiation of Bothriocephalus lineages in the different host species probably occurre...
متن کاملTeleost Fishes
The ulstrastructure of the saccular and lagenar maculae were studied in 15 species of teleost fishes, using the scanning electron microscope. Particular attention was paid to hair cell orientation patterns, composition of the ciliary bundles on the hair cells, hair cell distributions, and supporting cell types. The hair cells on both otolithic organs are divided into several groups with all of ...
متن کاملClaudins in teleost fishes
Teleost fishes are a large and diverse animal group that represent close to 50% of all described vertebrate species. This review consolidates what is known about the claudin (Cldn) family of tight junction (TJ) proteins in teleosts. Cldns are transmembrane proteins of the vertebrate epithelial/endothelial TJ complex that largely determine TJ permeability. Cldns achieve this by expressing barrie...
متن کاملTapeworm Diphyllobothrium dendriticum (Cestoda)—Neglected or Emerging Human Parasite?
BACKGROUND A total number of 14 valid species of Diphyllobothrium tapeworms have been described in literature to be capable of causing diphyllobothriosis, with D. latum being the major causative agent of all human infections. However, recent data indicate that some of these infections, especially when diagnosed solely on the basis of morphology, have been identified with this causative agent in...
متن کاملDeterminants of tapeworm species richness in elasmobranch fishes: untangling environmental and phylogenetic influences
Parasite species richness is a fundamental characteristic of host species and varies substantially among host communities. Hypotheses aiming to explain observed patterns of richness are numerous, and none is universal. In this study, we use tapeworm parasites of elasmobranch fishes to examine the phylogenetic and environmental influences on the variation in species richness for this specific sy...
