River contamination shapes the microbiome and antibiotic resistance in sharpbelly (Hemiculter leucisculus)

The Mhlathuze river catchment: Bacterial contamination and antibiotic resistance patterns of the isolates

The present study reports on the fecal contamination in Mhlathuze river catchment and the incidence of antibiotic resistance amongst the bacterial isolates from water sources as well as from diarrhoea patients living in the area. The Mhlathuze river catchment (Northern KwaZulu-Natal, RSA) is home to an extensive rural population that is dependent on water from this river for all domestic purpos...

First record of saw-belly (Hemiculter leucisculus Basilewsky, 1855) from Zarinehrud River, Urmia Lake basin and its some biological characteristics

This study aimed to the first report of Saw-belly, Hemiculter leucisculus from the Zarinehrud River and investigation of its morphometric and meristic characteristics, length-weight and length-length relationships. A total of 77 saw-belly specimens were caught on September 2013 from the Zarinehrud River. Twenty-one morphometric and 10 meristic characters were examined. The total length and weig...

Redescription of Paradiplozoon hemiculteri (Monogenea, Diplozoidae) from the type host Hemiculter leucisculus, with neotype designation

Paradiplozoon hemiculteri (Ling, 1973), a member of the Diplozoidae, parasitizes the gills of Asian fish. Not only is the type material unavailable for this species, the original description was poor and somewhat conflicting, and adequate molecular data were not available. What is more, the available morphological and molecular data are inconsistent and fluctuate significantly. Here, we present...

Hemiculter leucisculus (Basilewsky, 1855) and Alburnus caeruleus Heckel, 1843: new data on their distributions in Iran

This paper provides information on the geographic distributions of two cyprinid species: Hemiculter leucisculus (Basilewsky, 1855) and Alburnus caeruleus Heckel, 1843, in the world and the entire drainage systems in Iran. The new distribution records were taken from Maroon River (Jarrahi River system) and Chardaval River (Karkheh river system), both in Tigris River basin showing wide and narrow...
