Infection with Dactylogyrus spp. among introduced cyprinid fishes and their geographical distribution in Iran
In the present study, we reported infection with eighteen species of the genus Dactylogyrus, belong to thefamily Dactylogyridae from five breeder fish species, including common carp (Cyprinus carpio), grass carp(Ctenopharyngodon idella), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), big head carp (Hypophthalmichthysnobilis) and black carp (Myelopharyngodon piceus) which introduced and imported to ...
متن کاملDecay of similarity with host phylogenetic distance in parasite faunas.
Exponential decay in community similarity as a function of distance is a ubiquitous phenomenon in biogeography. Thus, for parasite communities, pairwise similarity decreases with increasing geographical distance between host populations. This biogeographical rule should also apply along other dimensions characterizing the separation between communities. Since host-switching and phylogenetic aff...
متن کاملبررسی انگل های کرمی روده ای جوندگان در مناطق شهری و نواحی مرکزی استان مازندران در سال های 76 الی 78
Background and purpose: Study of intestinal parasites in the rodents has medical, hygienic, veternary and biologically importance. Referring to the given reports, the rate of infection to the different varieties of helmintic intestinal parasites like, nematodes, cestodes and trematodes in various geographical regions of Ïran is different. Hence in order to determine all types of helmintic int...
متن کاملParasites of the eyes of fresh and brackish water fishes in Iran
In the present investigation a total of six parasite species, some eye-specific and others non-organ specific parasites were found in the eyes of 48 examined fish species, collected from fresh and brackish waters of Iran during 2004-2006. Ichthyophthirius multifiliis was isolated from the external surface of the eyes of Oncorhynchus mykiss, Gyrodactylus stankovici from Cyprinus carpio and Lern...
متن کاملBiogeography of parasitism in freshwater fish: spatial patterns in hot spots of infection
along environmental gradients, dispersal constraints imposed by topography, and intrinsic species differences in dispersal abilities (Soininen et al. 2007). The limited evidence available to date suggests that environmental gradients are more important drivers of the distance decay in parasite community composition than spatial distance per se (Krasnov et al. 2005, Vinarski et al. 2007, Thieltg...
