“…Guppies are commonly infected by the monogenean worm Gyrodactylus, a genus of ubiquitous host-specific ectoparasites on fishes (Harris and Lyles, 1992;Kearn, 1994;Harris et al, 2004). Gyrodactylus are viviparous and reproduce directly on the host, exhibiting hyperviviparity: a mature female has in its uterus a fully developed embryo that in turn has a developing embryo within its uterus (Kearn, 1994).…”

“…More than four hundred potentially valid Gyrodactylus species are described from nearly 400 hosts in a wide variety of fish families and orders, but the real species number is estimated to be more than 20 000 (Bakke et al 2002, Harris et al 2004. About 20 Gyrodactylus species are recorded as infesting salmonids (Ergens 1983, Malmberg 1993, Bakke et al 2002.…”

The Gyrodactylus fauna of 274 fish taken from ten salmonid farms in Poland was sampled in 2006. Four fish species were investigated: rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, brown trout Salmo trutta (morphs fario, lacustris, and trutta), grayling Thymallus thymallus and huchen Hucho hucho. No parasites were observed on huchen. No indications of gyrodactylosis were observed, but an unexpected parasite species diversity was found. A molecular species identification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of ITS1 + 5.8S + ITS2 was utilized, with addition of morphometric methods. The most frequent parasite was a new record in Poland, G. teuchis. It was present in two molecular forms on brown trout and rainbow trout, which also carried G. derjavinoides and G. truttae. Three molecular forms of G. salaris/G. thymalli were found, the standard type ITS only on grayling. A heterozygous (or heterogenic) G. salaris type described earlier in Denmark was found in seven farms on rainbow trout, and a complementary homozygous clone which differs from the standard by three nucleotides, in two farms. This homozygous form has not been recorded earlier. The PCR-RFLP results were confirmed by sequencing ITS segment from representative specimens of each type and comparing them with all available salmonid-specific Gyrodactylus sequences in GenBank. The Polish fauna with seven different Gyrodactylus clones separated by PCR-RFLP was the most diverse reported in fish farms in any country so far.

“…Four species (D. cryptomeres, G. gobiensis, G. gobii and G. markakulensis) were reported only from gudgeon and are considered as strict specialists (Harris et al, 2004). Three species (G. gasterostei, G. vimbi and P. homoion) are generalists.…”

“…Three species (G. gasterostei, G. vimbi and P. homoion) are generalists. Gyrodactylus sedelnikowi is reported as a specific parasite for stone loach Barbatula barbatula (L.) (see Harris et al, 2004) and its finding in gudgeon is accidental. Stone loach was abundant at the sampling locality and during a growth and dispersal of gyrodactylids, they may also have transferred to the nonspecific gudgeon host (Poulin, 1992).…”

Seasonal variation in parasite occurrence and microhabitat distribution of monogenean parasites of gudgeon Gobio gobio (L.)

SummarySeasonal changes in occurrence, infracommunity composition and microhabitat distribution of the monogenean parasites of gudgeon Gobio gobio (L.) were studied during two years in the River Haná (Czech Republic). Altogether 212 specimens of gudgeon were examined and a total of 6456 specimens of eight monogenean species were recorded: Dactylogyrus cryptomeres, Gyrodactylus gobiensis, Gyrodactylus gobii, Gyrodactylus gasterostei, Gyrodactylus vimbi, Gyrodactylus markakulensis, Gyrodactylus sedelnikowi and Paradiplozoon homoion. The occurrence of monogeneans correlated with seasonal changes of water temperature. In 2001, gyrodactylids peaked in March and D. cryptomeres in May, whereas in 2002, gyrodactylids peaked in May and D. cryptomeres in July. The majority of specimens of all Gyrodactylus species were found on the fins; the remaining specimens of Gyrodactylus were located on the body surface and gills, and all Dactylogyrus and Paradiplozoon specimens were located on the gills. The microhabitat distribution of the monogeneans changed in relation to changing water temperature and intensity of infection.
