“…These specimens all conform to the L. angustus morphology as described by Bray et al (1996) apart from one specimen from the gall-bladder of E. maculatus (JNC 2178B) which is broader than the others, with a width 38% of the length, which is a similar width to that quoted for L. dollfusi (Durio et Manter, 1968) (Table V). Other features such as the position of the genital pore at the anterior margin of the ventral sucker, the entire ovary and the distinct prepharynx indicate a similarity to L. angustus.…”

The lepocreadiid fauna of New Caledonia is reported and discussed and a new species and several new host and locality records presented. Hypoporus plataxi sp. nov. from Platax teira is described and distinguished from its only congener by its terminal genitalia, the structure of the anterior part of the alimentary system and other morphological features. New host and locality records and a description are given of Lepotrema cf. clavatum Ozaki, 1932 in Sufflamen fraenatum. New host and locality records are given of Lobatocreadium exiguum (Manter, 1963) in Pseudobalistes fuscus, which is also reported in the known hosts Abalistes filamentosus and Sufflamen fraenatum. New host and locality records are given of Opisthogonoporus amadai Yamaguti, 1937

“…Equally, there are numerous examples of distributions in multiple confamilial genera. Thus two species of Lepidapedoides (Lepocreadiidae) are both reported from two genera of caesionine lutjanids (Bray et al 1996), the derogenid Derogenes pharyngicola Bray, Cribb and Barker, 1993 is known from two genera of pomacentrids (Bray et al 1993 c ), and the haplosplanchnid Hymenocotta mulli Manter, 1961 is known from five genera of Mugilidae (Durio and Manter, 1968 a ; Lester and Sewell, 1990; Cribb et al 1994 a , 2001; Olson et al 2003).…”

Taxonomic approaches to and interpretation of host specificity of trematodes of fishes: lessons from the Great Barrier Reef

2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The taxonomy of trematodes of Great Barrier Reef (GBR) fishes has been studied in some detail for over 20 years. Understanding of the fauna has been informed iteratively by approaches to sampling, understanding of morphology, the advent of molecular methodology and a feed-back loop from the emergent understanding of host specificity. Here we analyse 658 host-parasite combinations for 290 trematode species, 152 genera and 28 families from GBR fishes. These are reported from 8 orders, 38 families, 117 genera and 243 species of fishes. Of the 290 species, only 4 (1·4%) have been reported from more than one order of fishes and just 23 (7·9%) infect more than one family; 77·9% of species are known from only one genus, and 60% from only one species of fish. Molecular studies have revealed several complexes of cryptic species and others are suspected; we conclude that no euryxenous host distribution should be accepted on the basis of morphology only. The occurrence of individual trematode species in potential hosts is patchy and difficult to predict reliably a priori or explain convincingly a posteriori. These observations point to the need for a vigorous iterative interaction between the accretion of host specificity data and its interpretation.

“…In contrast, not a single parasite was documented for E. ongus from Indonesian waters. So far, only three monogeneans, Pseudorhabdosynochus summanae (Young, 1969) (synonym: Diplectanum summanae Kritsky and Beverley-Burton, 1986), P. quadratus (Schoelinck and Justine, 2011) and Benedenia fieldsi (Deveney and Whittington, 2010) as well as two digeneans, Pearsonellum corventum (Lester and Sewell, 1989; Overstreet and Køie, 1989) and Lepidapedoides angustus (Bray et al 1996), have been recorded for this epinephelid. The present study is the first comprehensive analysis of the parasite fauna of E. ongus worldwide, discussing: (1) the infection pattern, (2) the use of the documented parasite community as environmental indicator and (3) the potential risk of parasite transmission into mariculture systems and vice versa.…”

Parasite fauna of white-streaked grouper, Epinephelus ongus (Bloch, 1790) (Epinephelidae) from Karimunjawa, Indonesia

et al. 2016

SUMMARYThis study provides the first comprehensive information on the parasite fauna of the white-streaked grouperEpinephelus ongus. A total of 35 specimens from the archipelago Karimunjawa, Java Sea, Indonesia were studied for metazoan parasites. For comparison, the documented parasite community of 521E. areolatus,E. coioidesandE. fuscoguttatusfrom previous studies were analysed. A total of 17 different parasite taxa were recognized forE. ongus, including 14 new host and four new locality records. This increases the known parasite taxa ofE. ongusby more than 80%. The ectoparasite fauna was predominated by the monogeneanPseudorhabdosynochus quadratusresulting in a low Shannon index of species diversity of the entire parasite community (0.17). By contrast, the species diversity excluding the ectoparasites reached the highest value recorded for Indonesian epinephelids (1.93). The endoparasite fauna was predominated by generalists, which are already known from Indonesia. This demonstrates the potential risk of parasite transmission throughE. ongusinto mariculture and vice versa. One-way analyses of similarity revealed a significantly different parasite community pattern ofE. onguscompared withE. areolatusandE. fuscoguttatusas well as minor differences withE. coioides. This finding refers to different habitat preferences of these epinephelids within the analysed size range.
