“…Lernaea cyprinacea has infected several species of freshwater and marine fish in various countries, including South Africa (Chakona et al, 2019;Welicky et al, 2017), Argentina (Plaul et al, 2010;Salinas et al, 2016), Asia (Innal & Avenant-Oldewage, 2012), Spain (Sánchez-Hernández, 2017), Siberia (Schäperclaus et al, 1991), Europe (Ahnelt et al, 2018;Stavrescu-Bedivan et al, 2011), Jepang (Nagasawa et al, 2007), Brazil (Narciso et al, 2019;Santos et al, 2020) and Israel (Lahav & Sarig, 1964). Infection occurs in capture and ornamental fisheries, and affects both farmed and wild populations (Mancini et al, 2008).…”

Betta rubra is an ornamental freshwater fish endemic to northern Sumatra, Indonesia. The B. rubra population has decreased in recent decades, and is classified as an endangered species in the IUCN Red List. This study aims to report for the first time infection by L. cyprinacea in B. rubra harvested from the Aceh Besar region of Indonesia. The fish samples were obtained from the Cot Bira tributaries, Aceh Besar District, Indonesia from January to December 2020. The results showed that the parasite infected 6 out of 499 samples in August and September, with a prevalence and intensity rate of 1% and 2 parasites/fish, respectively. The eyes and pectoral fins were the common infection sites. Despite B. rubra is not an optimal host (small size) for the parasite, this parasite might serve as additional threatening factors for the endangered B. rubra fish population.

Astyanax mexicanushas repeatedly colonized cave environments, displaying evolutionary parallelisms in many troglobitic traits. Despite being a model system for the study of adaptation to life in perpetual darkness, parasites infecting cavefish are practically unknown. In this study, we investigated the macroparasite communities of 18 cavefish populations from independent lineages and compared them with the parasite diversity of their sister surface fish populations, with the aim of better understanding the role that parasites play in the colonization of new environments. Thirteen parasite taxa were found in cavefish populations, including a subset of 10 of the 27 parasite taxa known for the surface populations. Parasites infecting the cavefish belong to five taxonomic groups: trematodes, monogeneans, nematodes, copepods, and acari. Monogeneans are the most dominant group, found in 14 caves. Macroparasites include species with direct life cycles and some trophically-transmitted parasites, including invasive species. Surprisingly, cave vs surface paired comparisons indicate higher parasite richness in the caves. The spatial variation in parasite composition across the caves suggests historical and geographical contingencies of the host-parasite colonization and the potential evolution of local adaptations. Base-line data on parasite diversity of cavefish populations ofA. mexicanussets the ground to explore the role of divergent parasite infections under contrasting ecological pressures (cave vs. surface environments) in the evolution of cave adaptive traits.
