چکیده
Gyrodactylus colisai n. sp., found on body surface of fish, Colisa fasciata collected at Hastinapur, Meerut, India, is described. New species is characterized morphologically in having a club shaped head organ and absence of ventral bar membrane. 28S ribosomal DNA of this worm has also been sequenced for molecular characterization and found to be distinct from all the species of this genus, sequenced and available at GenBank. Beside this, secondary structure of 28S has also been predicted and found useful in taxonomic characterization.

Thirty three Gyrodactylus spp have been found on the gills and body surface of both wild and farmed freshwater fishes in Iran. Among them nine species have been identified up to the species level, which are new locality records. The identification of the others, mainly belong to endemic wild freshwater fishes, need further studies. Among the known species, Gyrodactylus derjavini (Mikhailov, 197...

Gyrodactylus orecchiae sp. n. (Monogenea, Gyrodactylidae) is described from the skin, fins, eyes and gills of juvenile Sparus aurata L. (gilthead seabream) following two outbreaks of gyrodactylosis amongst stocks held in inshore floating cages on the Adriatic coast of Albania and Croatia. Fish were heavily infected (1000+ gyrodactylids/fish) with G. orecchiae which reportedly resulted in approx...

Species of the monogenean genus Thaparocleidus are specific to freshwater siluriform fish. The infection caused by these gill parasites are a major health problem to fish. But, to focus the control strategies of these parasites, first it is important to establish an accurate discrimination by molecular methods. In the present study, phylogenetic and structural analysis of 28S region of ribosoma...
