“…The D-loop region was excluded from this analysis because it is considered to be highly variable (Gonder et al 2007). The phylogenetic tree obtained was coherent with the phylogenetic studies of Sullivan et al (2006Sullivan et al ( , 2013 and Lundberg et al (2011), which grouped species in their respective families; Pimelodidae and Pseudopimelodidae were grouped together in the superfamily Pimelodoidea. The analyses were conducted using MEGA7 software (Kumar et al 2016).…”

“…Several genetic studies of partial mitochondrial and nuclear regions of P. maculatus have found a high degree of genetic diversity among populations (Garcia & Moreira Filho 2005;Paiva & Kalapothakis 2008;Carvalho et al 2011;Lundberg et al 2011;Pereira et al 2011;Ribolli et al 2012;Ferreira et al 2014;Frantine-Silva et al 2015). Here, we provide the first description of the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence for P. maculatus, which could support the development of molecular markers studies to aid wildlife forensics, evolutionary approaches, and conservation and management studies.…”

“…A comparison of the interrelationships of the Pimelodidae based on robust morphological and molecular evidence (Lundberg et al 2011 and references therein) with the present data does not reveal any obvious pattern of possible co-evolutionary history. In fact, cestodes from closely related pimelodids such as species of Pseudoplatystoma Bleeker, 1862 and Sorubimichthys planiceps (Spix & Agassiz, 1829) are unrelated and belong to distant lineages (Table 1 and Fig.…”

Proteocephalidean tapeworms form a diverse group of parasites currently known from 315 valid species. Most of the diversity of adult proteocephalideans can be found in freshwater fishes (predominantly catfishes), a large proportion infects reptiles, but only a few infect amphibians, and a single species has been found to parasitize possums. Although they have a cosmopolitan distribution, a large proportion of taxa are exclusively found in South America. We analyzed the largest proteocephalidean cestode molecular dataset to date comprising more than 100 species (30 new), including representatives from 54 genera (80%) and all subfamilies, thus significantly improving upon previous works to develop a molecular phylogeny for the group. The Old World origin of proteocephalideans is confirmed, with their more recent expansion in South America. The earliest diverging lineages are composed of Acanthotaeniinae and Gangesiinae but most of the presently recognized subfamilies (and genera) appear not to be monophyletic; a deep systematic reorganization of the order is thus needed and the present subfamilial system should be abandoned. The main characters on which the classical systematics of the group has been built, such as scolex morphology or relative position of genital organs in relation to the longitudinal musculature, are of limited value, as demonstrated by the very weak support for morphologically-defined subfamilies. However, new characters, such as the pattern of uterus development, relative ovary size, and egg structure have been identified, which may be useful in defining phylogenetically well-supported subgroups. A strongly supported lineage infecting various snakes from a wide geographical distribution was found. Although several improvements over previous works regarding phylogenetic resolution and taxon coverage were achieved in this study, the major polytomy in our tree, composed largely of siluriform parasites from the Neotropics, remained unresolved and possibly reflects a rapid radiation. The genus Spasskyellina Freze, 1965 is resurrected for three species of Monticellia bearing spinitriches on the margins of their suckers.

Summary1. Because host-parasite interactions are so ubiquitous, it is of primary interest for ecologists to understand the factors that generate, maintain and constrain these associations. Phylogenetic comparative studies have found abundant evidence for host-switching to relatively unrelated hosts, sometimes related to diversification events, in a variety of host-parasite systems. For Monogenoidea (Platyhelminthes) parasites, it has been suggested that the co-speciation model alone cannot explain host occurrences, hence host-switching and/or non-vicariant modes of speciation should be associated with the origins and diversification of several monogenoid taxa. 2. The factors that shape broad patterns of parasite sharing were investigated using path analysis as a way to generate hypotheses about the origins of host-parasite interactions between monogenoid gill parasites and Neotropical freshwater fishes. 3. Parasite sharing was assessed from an interaction matrix, and explanatory variables included phylogenetic relationships, environmental preferences, biological traits and geographic distribution for each host species. 4. Although geographic distribution of hosts and host ecology are important factors to understand host-parasite interactions, especially within host lineages that share a relatively recent evolutionary history, phylogeny had the strongest overall direct effect on parasite sharing. 5. Phylogenetic contiguity of host communities may allow a 'stepping-stone' mode of hostswitching, which increases parasite sharing. Our results reinforce the importance of including evolutionary history in the study of ecological associations, including emerging infectious diseases risk assessment.
