Morphology of Philometroides barbi (Nematoda: Philometridae), a rare tissue parasite of the Mediterranean barbel Barbus meridionalis (Osteichthyes)

Philometroides africanus sp. n. (Nematoda: Philometridae), a new tissue parasite of the African pike Hepsetus odoe (Pisces) in Botswana.

A new species of philometrid nematode, Philometroides africanus sp. n., is described from female specimens found encapsulated in gill arches and inner surface of gill covers of the African pike, Hepsetus odoe (Bloch), an endemic freshwater fish in Africa, from the Okavango River and Delta in Botswana. This new nematode is characterised mainly by a markedly small and plump body of gravid females...

Molecular-Biological Analysis of the Parasite Capillaria sp. of the Liver of Barbel (Barbus meridionalis petenyi Heck.) in Lake Ohrid

L. VELKOVA-JORDANOSKA, 2006. Molecular-biological analysis of the parasite Capillaria sp. of the liver of barbel (Barbus meridionalis petenyi Heck.) in Lake Ohrid. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci.,12: 315-319 The analysis of parasites molecular variation has important implications on the taxonomy, phylogenic and population genetics studies. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can have significant advantages ov...

Phylogeography of the barbel (Barbus barbus, Linnaeus 1758) in the area of Lake Constance

A new species of Spirophilometra (Nematoda: Philometridae) from the yellowfin snook Centropomus robalito (Osteichthyes) in southern Mexico.

A new nematode species, Spirophilometra pacifica sp. n. (Philometridae), is described from gravid female specimens collected from the mouth cavity (the upper palate) of the fish (yellow snook) Centropomus robalito (Centropomidae, Perciformes) from the Chantuto-Panzacola system, Chiapas, in the Pacific coast of Mexico. Its morphology is very similar to that of the species originally described as...

Goezia spinulosa (Nematoda: Raphidascarididae), a pathogenic parasite of the arapaima Arapaima gigas (Osteichthyes).

The nematode Goezia spinulosa (Diesing, 1839) (Raphidascarididae) is redescribed based on specimens found in the stomach and intestine of the naturally infected arapaima Arapaima gigas (Schinz) from the Mexiana Island, Amazon River Delta, Brazil. Light and electron microscopy examinations revealed some previously unreported or inaccurately described morphological features in the species, such a...
