“…Besides occurrence records, many authors described this species in its first intermediate host: firstly with basic descriptive works regarding the sporocysts form (Deltreil and His 1970;Pelseneer 1906;Russell-Pinto 1993) and the cercaria larvae (Deltreil and His 1970;Matthews 1973;Pelseneer 1906;Russell-Pinto 1993), and secondly with ultrastructure descriptions by electron microscopy (James et al 1966;Pina et al 2009;Russell-Pinto et al 2006). Authors are unanimous referring that B. minimus infects preferentially adult cockles as first intermediate hosts (Baudrimont et al 2003;Bowers 1969;de Montaudouin et al 2000;Derbali et al 2009;.…”

“…First host effects B. minimus infection in C. edule starts on the gonad and in the digestive gland (de Montaudouin et al 2000;Desclaux et al 2002;Pina et al 2009;Russell-Pinto 1993;Russell-Pinto et al 2006). On one hand, in the gonad, the parasite causes castration of the organism (Carballal et al 2001).…”

Review: Bucephalus minimus, a deleterious trematode parasite of cockles Cerastoderma spp.

Trematodes are the most prevalent and abundant macroparasites in coastal waters. They display a complex life cycle with alternation of free-living and parasitic stages generally involving three host species. The most deleterious stage is in the first intermediate host (a mollusc) where the parasite penetrates as miracidium larvae and asexually multiplicates in sporocysts/rediae to provide cercariae larvae. However, due to basic low prevalence in ecosystems, this system remains difficult to study. Taking the example of the cockle (Cerastoderma edule), an exploited bivalve along North-Eastern Atlantic coasts, and Bucephalus minimus, its most prevalent parasite as first intermediate host, we summarised the 51 most relevant papers (1887-2015). Besides, a 16-year monthly monitoring was performed at Banc d'Arguin (Atlantic coast of France), and allowed to obtain a sufficient number of infected cockles (276 out of 5,420 individuals) in order to provide new information concerning this parasite/host system. Sporocysts (diameter 80-500 μm) and developing cercariae (length 300-500 μm) are not visible before cockle reaches 16-mm shell length and then prevalence increases with host size. Seasonality of infection was not observed but variation of prevalence was significant among years and negatively correlated to the temperature of the former year, which could correspond to the period of infection by miracidium. Seven other species of trematode were identified in cockles as second intermediate host. For six of them, metacercariae abundance per individual was 2 to 12 folds higher in B. minimus-infected cockles, exacerbating the potential negative impact on host. From the parasite point of view, metacercariae can be considered as hitchhikers, taking advantage of the abnormal migration of B. minimus-infected cockles to the sediment surface where they become more vulnerable to predators that are also the final hosts of many of these parasites.

Over a two-years period, a survey was carried out in order to increase the knowledge of digeneans parasitising the commonest intertidal gastropods on the Patagonian coast, Southwestern Atlantic Ocean. A total of 4,725 gastropods were examined. Six species of digenean parasitising four snail species were found; four of them were registered for first time: Maritrema sp. 1 (Microphallidae) in Crepidula dilatata (Calyptraeidae), Parorchis sp. (Philophtalmidae) and sporocyst of Renicolidae in Trophon geversianus (Muricidae), and Diphterostomum sp. (Zoogonidae) in Buccinanops globulosus (Nassariidae). Two other species were found in Siphonaria lessoni (Siphonariidae): Maritrema sp. 2 and Hemiuridae. One snail species, Tegula patagonica (Trochidae) was not parasitised. These gastropods act as first intermediate host, and C. dilatata, S. lessoni and B. globulosus also frequently host metacercariae within the sporocyst. Overall prevalences varied from 0.16% of Diphterostomum in the intertidal population of B. globulosus to 33.45% of Maritrema sp. 1 in C. dilatata.

The very low prevalence of Bolbosoma vasculosum and the absence of digeneans could possibly be attributable to a lower or sporadic consumption of the typical intermediate hosts in benthic habitats, namely isopods (1.9%) and amphipods (3.1%) for the transmission of acanthocephalans and molluscs for the transmission of digeneans (Køie 1992, Russell-Pinto et al 2006). …”

Four different endohelminth parasite taxa were found in the viscera of the blacktail comber Serranus atricauda Günther, 1874 caught in the Madeira Archipelago. Nematodes were the dominant group, represented by 2 different taxa, Hysterothylacium spp. Ward & Magath, 1917 and Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) halitrophus Fusco & Overstreet, 1978 comb. n. Plerocerci of the trypanorhynch Pseudogrillotia epinepheli (synonym: Grillotia epinepheli) Scholz, Garippa & Scala, 1993, and cystacanths of the acanthocephalan Bolbosoma vasculosum Rudolphi, 1819 were found in the visceral cavity. New host records for P. (S.) halitrophus and P. epinepheli and the extension of the geographic distribution of these 2 parasite species provide evidence of parasite transference between the Madeira Archipelago, the Mediterranean and the Gulf of Mexico. The paucity of the parasite fauna of blacktail comber reflect a combination of fish host selective feeding on particular dietary items and its territorial behaviour.KEY WORDS: Serranidae · Serranus atricauda · Trypanorhyncha · Anisakid · Hysterothylacium · Bolbosoma vasculosum · Acanthocephala · Madeira Island Resale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisherDis Aquat Org 103: [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64] 2013 range, its parasites may prove to be valuable as environmental and population structure indicators (MacKenzie 1999, Cuyás et al. 2004, as well as providing an understanding of parasite zoogeographic relationships. The present study: (1) established a baseline for the parasite fauna of S. atricauda caught off Madeira and the Selvagens Islands (Macaronesian Biogeographic Region, Atlantic Ocean), (2) examined changes in parasite biodiversity between 2 sampling events, (3) described the geographic links of parasites found in the Madeira Archipelago with the Mediterranean and Gulf of Mexico. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fish hosts, collection and morphological examination of parasitesFrom February to June 1998, 31 blacktail comber Serranus atricauda were caught off the Selvagens Islands and examined for endohelminth parasites. Fish ranged in length from 13.8 to 31.5 cm (24.3 ± 0.8; mean ± standard error). The viscera of 34 fish ob tained at the Funchal fish market (Madeira Island) were also examined. Both sampling regions, Ma deira and the Selvagens Islands, are part of the Madeira Archipelago, Macaronesian Biogeographic Region, 30°01' 35'' to 30°09' 10'' N and 15°52' 15'' to 16°03' 15'' W). The viscera of the 34 market blacktail comber were examined fresh, and the 31 fish from the Selvagens Islands were frozen and later defrosted in the laboratory. A second sampling event, in October 2010, consisted of 23 blacktail comber ranging in length from 17 to 36.0 cm (26.5 ± 0.9) caught off the Selvagens Islands. These fish were examined fresh, immediately after being caught. The liver, stomach, pyloric caeca and intestines of all fish were examined with the aid of a binocular microscope (Zeiss Stemi 2000). Fresh squashes were also examined with a h...
