Hatching strategies in monogenean (platyhelminth) parasites that facilitate host infection.
In parasites, environmental cues may influence hatching of eggs and enhance the success of infections. The two major endoparasitic groups of parasitic platyhelminths, cestodes (tapeworms) and digeneans (flukes), typically have high fecundity, infect more than one host species, and transmit trophically. Monogeneans are parasitic flatworms that are among the most host specific of all parasites. M...
متن کاملPreliminary characterisation and extraction of anterior adhesive secretion in monogenean (platyhelminth) parasites.
Secreted anterior adhesives, used for temporary attachment to epithelial surfaces of fishes (skin and gills) by some monogenean (platyhelminth) parasites have been partially characterised. Adhesive is composed of protein. Amino acid composition has been determined for seven monopisthocotylean monogeneans. Six of these belong to the Monocotylidae and one species, Entobdella soleae (van Beneden e...
متن کاملSome Aspects of the Biology of Monogenean (Platyhelminth) Parasites of Marine and Freshwater Fishes
Müller [1] was the first to describe a monogenean, collected from the skin of the halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus). However, he regarded the parasite as a leech and named it Hirudo hippoglossi. It was not until 1858 that its status as a monogenean was established by van Beneden [2] and named Epibdella (now Entobdella) hippoglossi. Van Beneden published a detailed and accurate description of ...
متن کاملTracking transparent monogenean parasites on fish from infection to maturity
The infection dynamics and distribution of the ectoparasitic fish monogenean Neobenedenia sp. (Monogenea: Capsalidae) throughout its development was examined on barramundi, Lates calcarifer (Bloch) (Latidae), by labelling transparent, ciliated larvae (oncomiracidia) with a fluorescent dye. Replicate fish were each exposed to approximately 50 fluorescent oncomiracidia and then examined for paras...
