Neotropical Monogenoidea. 56. New species of Anacanthorus (Dactylogyridae) from the gills of matrinchã, Brycon orthotaenia (Characiformes: Characidae), in the Rio São Francisco, Brazil

Monogeneans (Dactylogyridae) parasitizing gills ofSalminus hilarii from a Neotropical reservoir, Brazil

“…To date, 70 species have been described, mostly from the Amazon region (Table 5). According to Van Every and Kritsky (1992), species diversity among Amazonian fish and their parasites may have resulted from lacustrine resource partitioning, similar to that proposed to explain cichlid diversity in some African lakes (LOWE-MCCONNELL, 1987) and Pliocene diversity in lake Idaho (SMITH, 1975 (KRITSKY et al, 1979;KRITSKY et al, 1992;COHEN, 1998;FISCHER et al, 2003;MALTA, 2006;MONTEIRO et al, 2010;COHEN et al, 2012).…”

Mebendazole dietary supplementation controls Monogenoidea (Platyhelminthes: Dactylogyridae) and does not alter the physiology of the freshwater fish Colossoma macropomum (Cuvier, 1818)

“…In Brazil, Anacanthorus penilabiatus Boeger, Husak and Martins, 1995 was found to be parasitizing P. mesopotamicus (Martins et al, 2001;Jerônimo et al, 2014), Anacanthorus spiralocirrus Kritsky, Thatcher & Kayton, 1979 in Brycon amazonicus, (Andrade and Malta, 2006), Anacanthorus spathulatus in C. macropomum (Thatcher, 1991(Thatcher, , 2006Malta et al, 2001;Dias et al, 2015), Anacanthorus brevicirrus Monteiro et al, 2010 in Brycon orthotaenia (Monteiro et al, 2010). In this study, A. spathulatus was the most prevalent species in all treatments during the whole experiment.…”

A new species of Rhinonastes (Monogenoidea, Dactylogyridae), nasal parasite of Prochilodus argenteus (Actinopterygii, Characiformes) from Brazil

“…The goal of this manuscript is to continue the study of Dactylogyridae parasites of fishes of the São Francisco basin (see Brasil-Sato and Pavanelli 2000;Monteiro et al 2010a;2010b, Monteiro andBrasil-Sato 2014), describing the first parasite species from the nasal cavity of a prochilodontid fish from this important Brazilian river basin.…”
