Gryporhynchidae (Cestoda: Cyclophyllidea) in Mexico: species list, hosts, distribution and new records

Abstract: As a result of this study, 8 new host (Botaurus lentiginosus for Glossocercus caribaensis and Valipora mutabilis; Egretta caerulea for Valipora minuta; Egretta thula for Glossocercus cyprinodontis; Egretta tricolor and Nycticorax nycticorax for Glossocercus caribaensis; Pelecanus occidentalis and Platalea ajaja for Paradilepis caballeroi) and 31 new locality records for gryporhynchid cestode species in Mexico are presented. With these data, the total number of species of this group of helminths in Mexico becom… Show more

“…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 ).…”

“…(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.…”

“…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 .…”
