Preliminary 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 کاملHatching 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 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 کاملMixed Infections and Hybridisation in Monogenean Parasites
Theory predicts that sexual reproduction promotes disease invasion by increasing the evolutionary potential of the parasite, whereas asexual reproduction tends to enhance establishment success and population growth rate. Gyrodactylid monogeneans are ubiquitous ectoparasites of teleost fish, and the evolutionary success of the specious Gyrodactylus genus is thought to be partly due to their use ...
