Jellyfish Blooms IV

“…Adults of genus Opechona and M. filiformis were found in eight and six fish species of the region, respectively (Travassos et al, 1965(Travassos et al, , 1967Amato, 1982Amato, , 1983Fernandes et al, 1985;Wallet & Kohn, 1987;Girola et al, 1992;Cremonte & Sardella, 1997;Martorelli & Cremonte, 1998;Pereira et al, 2000;Abdallah et al, 2002; , 2007). and Monascus filiformis were the most frequent and abundant parasite species, with the widest range of medusae hosts (occurring in 13 and 11 species of medusae, respectively).…”

The parasiteMonascus filiformis(Trematoda, Digenea, Fellodistomidae) onStromateus brasiliensis(Pisces, Perciformes, Stromateidae): possible routes of transmission involving jellyfish

“…Prior to this study, Monascus filiformis had been reported in only two unnamed species of Pampus (Stromateidae) from India (Sey et al , 2003), on Cepola rubescens (Cepolidae) from Italy, on Selaroides leptolepis (Carangidae) from Kuwait, on Mugil ophuyseni (Mugilidae) from China (Sey et al , 2003), on Trachurus trachurus (Carangidae) from Denmark, Iberian Peninsula, Norway and Turkey (Køie, 1979; Lozano et al , 2001; MacKenzie et al , 2004; Oguz & Bray, 2006) and, on Trachurus lathami (Carangidae) from Venezuela (Nasir & Gómez, 1977). In the South-western Atlantic Ocean, Monascus filiformis has been found only in five species of fish from subtropical waters of Brazil: Chloroscombrus chrysurus (Carangidae) and Trachurus lathami (Carangidae) (Amato, 1982), Oligoplites saurus (Carangidae) (Travassos et al , 1965, 1967), Peprilus paru (Stromateidae) (Wallet & Khon, 1987), Micropogonias furnieri (Sciaenidae) (Pereira et al , 2000); and from cold temperate waters of Argentina it was reported infesting only Trachurus lathami (Girola et al , 1992).…”

Parasitism (Trematoda, Digenea) in medusae from the southwestern Atlantic Ocean: medusa hosts, parasite prevalences, and ecological implications

“…and Monascus filiformis were the most frequent and abundant parasite species, with the widest range of medusae hosts (occurring in 13 and 11 species of medusae, respectively). Adults of genus Opechona and M. filiformis were found in eight and six fish species of the region, respectively (Travassos et al, 1965(Travassos et al, , 1967Amato, 1982Amato, , 1983Fernandes et al, 1985;Wallet & Kohn, 1987;Girola et al, 1992;Cremonte & Sardella, 1997;Martorelli & Cremonte, 1998;Pereira et al, 2000;Abdallah et al, 2002;Kohn Fig. 4 a Cluster groups of mean prevalence for the four parasites found across all parasitized medusae by species, b spatial distribution of the three groups obtained in the cluster analysis, and c results of the SIMPER analysis.…”
