“…Overall, the cestode fauna of Mexican teleosts is depauperate, especially when compared with the extraordinarily rich fauna of fish trematodes and monogeneans ( Salgado-Maldonado, 2006 ; Pérez-Ponce de León and Choudhury, 2010 ). The most frequent cestode parasites of freshwater fish in Mexico are larvae (metacestodes) of gryporhynchids (Cyclophyllidea) ( Scholz and Salgado-Maldonado, 2001 ), whose adults parasitise fish-eating birds ( Ortega-Olivares et al, 2014 ; Ortega-Olivares and García-Varela, 2019 ). In contrast, adult tapeworms are relatively rare ( Salgado-Maldonado, 2006 ).…”

The first survey of caryophyllidean tapeworms parasitising catostomid and cyprinid fish in Mexico is provided, including new host and geographical records. Isoglaridacris brevicollis n. sp. is described from the Nazas sucker, Catostomus nebuliferus Garman (type host), in Durango, C. bernardini Girard in Sonora, and Moxostoma austrinum Bean (Cypriniformes: Catostomidae) in Jalisco. The new species differs from congeners mainly in the shape of the scolex, which is rounded, and by the absence of a defined neck (distinct, often long in other congeners). Pseudoglaridacris confusa found in Ictiobus meridionalis (also a member of the family Catostomidae) from Oaxaca and Veracruz represents the southern-most report of species of this Nearctic genus. Three morphotypes of the holarctic Archigetes Leuckart, 1878 were found in two leuciscid fishes ( Notropis caliensis and N. nazas ) and in silverside Chirostoma sp. (Atherinidae). It is the first record of any caryophyllidean in atheriniform fish. The first record of Khawia japonensis (Yamaguti, 1934) (syn. K. iowensis Calentine et Ulmer, 1961), a parasite of common carp ( Cyprinus carpio L.), in Mexico represents another evidence of its invasive potential. The caryophyllidean fauna of Mexican freshwater fish is depauperate compared to that in the United States and Canada, which seems to be related to a much lower number of species of suckers (Catostomidae) occurring in Mexico, possibly also to the lower number of fish in the population.

“…(2014) probably represent a new species for which a new genus should be erected. Isolates from two species of night herons, the black-crowned night heron ( Nycticorax nycticorax ) and the yellow-crowned night heron ( Nyctanassa violacea ), found in two localities in the Gulf of Mexico (Ortega-Olivares et al ., 2014) appeared as a sister lineage to the clade composed from two unidentified species of Parvitaenia and N. lasiopeius , all from fishes in Africa, i.e. markedly distant from species of Glossocercus in the LSU dataset (fig.…”

“…The family currently contains 76 species of 16 genera (Mariaux et al ., 2017): Amirthalingamia Bray, 1974; Ascodilepis Guildal, 1960; Baerbonaia Deblock, 1966; Bancroftiella Johnston, 1911; Clelandia Johnston, 1909; Cyclorchida Fuhrmann, 1907; Cyclustera Fuhrmann, 1901; Dendrouterina Fuhrmann, 1912; Glossocercus Chandler, 1935; Mashonalepis Beverley-Burton, 1960; Neogryporhynchus Baer & Bona, 1960; Paradilepis Hsü, 1935; Parvitaenia Burt, 1940; Proochida Fuhrmann, 1908; Proparadilepis Kornyushin & Greben, 2014; and Valipora Linton, 1927. In Mexico, 24 species of seven genera ( Cyclustera , Dendrouterina , Glossocercus , Neovalipora , Paradilepis , Parvitaenia and Valipora ) have been recorded (Ortega-Olivares et al ., 2008, 2014), which represent almost one-third (32%) of all biodiversity of this group of tapeworms.…”

Tapeworms of the family Gryporhynchidae are endoparasites of fish-eating birds distributed worldwide. Currently the family contains 16 genera classified on the basis of the morphology of the rostellar apparatus, rostellar hooks and strobilar anatomy. However, the phylogenetic relationships among the genera are still unknown. In this study, sequences of the near complete 18S (SSU) and 28S (LSU) from rDNA of 13 species of gryporhynchids (adult specimens) representing eight genera (Cyclustera, Dendrouterina, Glossocercus, Gryporhynchidae gen. sp., Neovalipora, Paradilepis, Parvitaenia, Valipora) and one species of metacestode from fish (Neovalipora) were generated. Additionally, sequences of metacestodes of the genera Amirthalingamia, Neogryporhynchus, Paradilepis, Parvitaenia and Valipora from Africa recently added to the GenBank database were analysed. Phylogenetic relationships were inferred using maximum-likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference of each (SSU and LSU) dataset. The phylogenetic analyses indicated that the family Gryporhynchidae is a well-supported monophyletic group within the Cyclophyllidea. The trees inferred with SSU and LSU datasets had similar topologies and suggested that the genera Glossocercus (two species sequenced) and Paradilepis (four spp.) are monophyletic. In contrast, Dendrouterina, Parvitaenia and Valipora are paraphyletic, suggesting that the species composition of these genera should be critically reviewed. Interestingly, species of the genera that use the same groups of definitive hosts such as herons (Ardeidae), cormorants (Phalacrocoracidae) and ibis (Threskiornithidae) are together in the phylogenetic tree, even though they differ markedly from each other in some morphological characters, especially shape and size of rostellar hooks.

“…A cestode, Glossocercus caribaensis , that has fish-eating birds as the definitive host, crustaceans as the first intermediate host, and F . heteroclitus as the second intermediate host [34]. The last indirect life-cycle parasite was a nematode, Contraceacum sp ., that can parasitize fish-eating birds and mammals as definitive hosts, and F .…”

This study examined the relationship between urbanization and parasite community structure in the estuarine fish, Fundulus heteroclitus. We measured landscape and physicochemical factors associated with urbanization at 6 sites from 4 collection periods. Concurrently, we quantified the metazoan parasite community in F. heteroclitus collected at those sites, with 105 fish studied per site during the 4 collection periods. Parasite community composition differed among sites. Host size was the most important variable for direct life-cycle parasite assemblages and indirect life-cycle parasites at the individual fish level, while landscape and physicochemical factors determined the structure of indirect life-cycle parasite assemblages at the population scale. Variation in the prevalence and intensity of infection of two indirect life-cycle parasites, Lasiocotus minutus and Glossocercus caribaensis, were the primary parasites that drove differences across sites. Variation in the presence/absence of these indirect life-cycle parasite species was associated with sediment Ni concentrations, patch density, and marsh size. Our data support the hypothesis that urbanization, acting at both landscape and physicochemical scales, can have a significant impact on parasite community structure. This, however, varied by parasite life history: there was little effect of urbanization on the prevalence and intensity of direct life-cycle parasites, but significant variation was detected for indirect life-cycle parasites. This study demonstrates how anthropogenically driven landscape change influences fine-scale population dynamics of parasites.
