“…GoTo, 1894 18 mature specimens of this species were found on the gills of Nibea schlegeli (BLEEKER) ( = Sciaena sina) from Sagami Bay, june 6, 1958. As compared with GoTo's original description the present material agrees completely in the most important specific characters, especially in the armature of the genital atrium, but differs in some points of minor significance which are given below.…”

“…Recently, Smith (2001) and Bullard and Overstreet (2006) both emended the genus independently, but their emendations were based on the morphology of other species, such as P. psettodorum from rockfishes, Sebastes spp., and P. tropicum from bullseye puffer, Spheroides annulatus, rather than that of the type species. The present two species have morphological characteristics in common with the type species, including a reticular testis covering the entire body from the level of oesophagus to almost the posterior end of the body and the presence of a posterior vas deferens (Goto and Ozaki, 1929). These characteristics are not known in other blood flukes, but were not included in recent emendations of Psettarium (Smith, 2001;Bullard and Overstreet, 2006).…”

“…Based on the descriptions of Psettarium japonicum by Goto and Ozaki (1929) (as Plehnia japonica Goto et Ozaki, 1929) and by Yamaguti (1951), the generic diagnosis of Psettarium given by Yamaguti (1958), and the examination of voucher specimens of P. japonicum collected by S. Yamaguti (Yamaguti, 1938;1951), we classified the present blood flukes into the genus Psettarium. Morphological characteristics distinguishing these flukes from those of the other genera in the family Sanguinicolidae were the diffuse and widely dis- tributed testis and the presence of a posterior vas deferens.…”

Blood Fluke Infection of Cultured Tiger Puffer <i>Takifugu rubripes</i> Imported from China to Japan

et al. 2007

ABSTRACT-Monthly samplings of tiger puffer Takifugu rubripes, which had been cultured in China and later introduced to a farm in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, in May 2005, were conducted over a four-month period commencing in June 2005. Blood flukes were found in the visceral vascular system with the highest number being 162 worms/fish, and their eggs accumulated in the visceral organs. The parasite was classified within the genus Psettarium based on the unique male reproductive system, and tentatively designated as Psettarium sp. TPC (= tiger puffer from China). Molecular analyses, using the ITS2 rDNA gene indicated that the blood flukes of tiger puffer from two other sources (cultured in China and subsequently in the Kyushu area, and cultured in China only) were also Psettarium sp. TPC. This suggests that the infection cycle of Psettarium sp. TPC has been established in China. On the other hand, no evidence was found that its life cycle is complete in Japanese waters. Similar blood flukes were collected in 1993 from postspawned tiger puffer caught in a set-net in Wakasa Bay, Fukui Prefecture and maintained there for several months. This parasite was differentiated from Psettarium sp. TPC by the presence of 5-6 rows of pre-oral spines and designated as Psettarium sp. TPJ (= tiger puffer from Japan).

“…This subfamily includes three genus Monocotyle, Dendromonocotyle Hargis, 1955 andClemacotyle Young, 1967. Since the type material of M. myliobatis, type species of the genus, has disappeared and the description of this monogenean by Perugia and Parona (1890) and Palombi (1949) was incomplete, Chisholm (1998) Goto, 1894;M. pricei Pearse, 1949;M.…”

Monocotyle was proposed by Taschenberg (1878) to accommodate M. myliobatis Taschenberg, 1878 from the gills of Myliobatis aquila (Linnaeus) caught at the Aquarium of the Zoological Station of Naples (Italy). There have been three descriptions of this species: the original one by Taschenberg (1878) and two which are incomplete by Perugia and Parona (1890) and Palombi (1942). Illustrations by these authors are poor and sometimes conflicting. We have rediscovered M. myliobatis on the gills of the type host Myliobatis aquila caught near Algiers, Tamentfoust (36°47'N, 3°12'E) (Algeria). We provide new illustrations of this monogenean, based on new specimens. We also redescribe the anatomy, with special attention to the male and female reproductive systems, and we provide additional data regarding the morphology, the number and arrangement of the septal sclerites of the haptor and the haptoral marginal papillae. We indicate the similarity between Monocotyle myliobatis and Monocotyle sp. Euzet et Maillard, 1967 collected from Pteromyleus bovinus, Geoffroy Saint Hillaire (Elasmobranchii, Myliobatidae) by J. Cadenat off Dakar (Senegal).
