“…Recently, an integrative approach combining genetic characterization with commonly used, taxonomically important morphological characters has become the gold standard with respect to taxonomical research on monogeneans (e.g. Řehulková et al, 2020;Acosta et al, 2022;Bahanak et al, 2022;Jin et al, 2022;Nitta, 2023), as, only by evaluating both morphological and molecular data, can the potential complexes of cryptic species (morphologically indistinguishable and closely related) be revealed, as previously documented for Gyrodactylus (Bueno-Silva et al, 2011), Cichlidogyrus (Kmentová et al, 2016) and Dactylogyrus (Rahmouni et al, 2017;Benovics et al, 2018).…”

The freshwaters of Iraq harbour a high diversity of endemic and phylogenetically unique species. One of the most diversified fish groups in this region is cyprinoids, and although their distribution is relatively well known, their monogenean parasites have only rarely been investigated. Herein, we applied an integrative approach, combining morphology with molecular data, to assess the diversity and phylogeny of cyprinoid-associated monogenean parasites. A total of 33 monogenean species were collected and identified from 13 endemic cyprinoid species. The highest species diversity was recorded for Dactylogyrus (Dactylogyridae, 16 species) and Gyrodactylus (Gyrodactylidae, 12 species). Four species of Dactylogyrus and 12 species of Gyrodactylus were identified as new to science and described. Two other genera, Dogielius (Dactylogyridae) and Paradiplozoon (Diplozoidae), were represented only by 4 and 1 species, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses of the Dactylogyrus and Gyrodactylus species revealed that the local congeners do not form a monophyletic group and are phylogenetically closely related to species from other regions (i.e. Europe, North Africa and Eastern Asia). These findings support the assumption that the Middle East served as an important historical crossroads for the interchange of fauna between these 3 geographic regions.

“…The previous study stated that polluted waters trigger fish stress and increase their susceptibility to pathogens, especially Benedenia (Hassan et al 2015;Fahmy et al 2022). Benedenia is a capsalid monogenean worm parasite in fish (Nitta 2023). The fish losses due to this capsalid monogenean parasite infestation are less than other pathogenic organisms such as viruses and bacteria.…”

Abstract. Amiin MK, Subekti S, Masithah ED, Nirmala D, Yunus M, Santanumurti MB, Rivaie AR. 2023. First microphological and molecular parasitological survey of Benedenia in humpback grouper (Cromileptes altivelis) of Lampung and Situbondo, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 6858-6867. Capsalid monogenean infections, such as Benedenia, affect grouper aquaculture production. Benedenia will cause lesions and skin damage which will cause fish prices to drop. Secondary infection from bacteria, viruses, and fungi by Benedenia triggers a slow growth rate and even mortality. Benedenia infection on grouper has been conducted in Indonesia, specifically in this study in Lampung and Situbondo. However, molecular identification of this parasite is still lacking. This study aims to determine the microscopic and molecular characteristics of Benedenia from the Hurun Bay waters of Lampung and the North Coast of the Java Sea, Situbondo. The main parameters observed in this study were DNA base sequence, morphology, and phylogenetic tree. Benedenia from Lampung (637 bp) and Situbondo (741 bp) in this study was confirmed by the morphological and molecular close as Benedenia sargocentron with nucleotides. Interestingly, the similarity was less than 98% with B. sargocentron with accession ID JN797597.1 (similarity of 97.15% from Lampung and 86.33% from Situbondo). It could be indicated as a new species of Benedenia. The prevalence of Benedenia in Lampung was 90%, while Situbondo showed 80% with 3 parasite/fish intensity for each location. The outcome of this study is the characteristics of Benedenia from Lampung and Situbondo were similar to B. sargocentron according to morphological and molecular identification. This is the first report of B. sargocentron from Lampung and Situbondo since no molecular identification has been done in those places to confirm their species. Further research by another molecular target apart from 28S rRNA should be needed to identify this parasite more accurately.
