“…Yamaguti (1958) gave a list of 20 species of the genus Dipiostomum v. Nordmann, 1832. More recently, the following species have been added; D. sterni Gupta, 1958, D. sobolevi Schigin, 1959, D. sudarikovi Schigin, I960 and D. ardeiformium Odening, 1962 In possessing a posterior testis which is H-shaped, the present parasite differs from all other species except D. tregenna Nazmi, 1932, D. ketupanensis Vidyarthi, 1937, D. heronei Srivastava, 1954, D. buteii Vidyarthi, 1937, D. dttboisi Anantaraman and Balasubramanian, 1953and D. sterni Gupta, 1958. It however differs from the first three in having a large dumb-bell shaped anterior testis which stretches across the entire width of the hindbody, while they have a small anterior testis situated in the right or left half of the hindbody.…”

1. An investigation of the helminth parasites of the African Darter, Anhinga rufa rufa in Ghana produced the following trematodes and cestodes:(1) Strigea anhingae n.sp.(2) Diplostomum ghanense n.sp.(3) Phagicola bulbosa n.sp.(4) Clinostomum tilafiiae Ukoli, 1966(5) Clinostomum phalacrocoracis Dubois, 1931(6) Echinorhynchotaenia tritesticulata Fuhrmann, 1909The new species are described and classified in this paper.

Freshwater fi sheries has a signifi cant contribution to development as an important source of human proteins as well as in sport fi shing and aquarium. Despite their importance, both wild and aquaculture fi sh suffer from a problem of parasitism, notably Diplostomum species, causing fi sh mortalities particularly in fi ngerlings. Although a considerable effort in understanding Diplostomum species taxonomy, biology and control of fi sh parasites has been well developed in the northern hemisphere, the knowledge of these aspects in Africa is not clearly known. Therefore the present work reviews the aspects of biology and taxonomy of African Diplostomum. The traditional approach to uncover these aspects would be to complete the life cycles in the laboratory, which would lead to morphological characterisation of all life cycle stages. However, establishing and maintaining life cycles of Diplostomum species is diffi cult, laborious and expensive. Although, molecular methods have been proven to provide an alternative solution, are not common in Africa due to lack of equipment and expertise. However, improvement of some weaknesses for some studies like providing pictures or diagrams of the Diplostomum species found is recommended. In addition, for laboratories that have the capacity to do molecular analysis, the use of a familiar molecular marker like a barcode region could be a prospective development in future.

“…Natural infections for other diplostomid species in African birds have been reported, e.g., the Egyptian kite Milvus migrans aegypticus, Egyptian moorhen Gallinula chloropus chloropus, and the giant heron Ardea goliath in Egypt (Nazmi 1932;El-Naffar 1979;El-Naffar et al 1980), Pel's fishing owl Scotopelia peli in Ivory Coast (Baer 1957), grey heron A. cinerea in Zimbabwe (Beverley-Burton 1963), and the African darter Anhinga rufa rufa in Ghana (Ukoli 1968). The developmental cycle of most African diplostomid species is not fully known, with the exception of Tylodelphys xenopi, which uses the darter, Anhinga melanogaster as the definitive host, the snail Bulinus tropicus as the first intermediate host, and the frog Xenopus laevis laevis as the second intermediate host (King and van As 1997).…”

Completion of the life cycle of Tylodelphys mashonense (Sudarikov, 1971) (Digenea: Diplostomidae) with DNA barcodes and rDNA sequences

The life cycle of Tylodelphys mashonense (Digenea: Diplostomidae), whose metacercariae occur in the cranial cavity of the widely cultivated catfish Clarias gariepinus, was resolved by the application of molecular markers. Both COI barcodes and ITS sequences obtained from diplostomid-like cercariae infecting Bulinus spp. from Mindu Dam, Morogoro, matched those acquired from metacercariae from the catfish C. gariepinus, and those from adult T. mashonense from the grey heron Ardea cinerea and the white egret Egretta alba. The success in linking the life cycle stages of T. mashonense using molecular tools highlights the usefulness of this approach in resolving the complex life cycles of digeneans in the absence of experimental establishment.
