Twelve new species of dactylogyrids (Platyhelminthes, Monogenea) from West African barbels (Teleostei, Cyprinidae), with some biogeographical implications

Abstract

Fifteen species of dactylogyrid monogeneans, belong to Dactylogyrus and Dogielius were observed in seven different African species of Barbus and

Ancyrocephalidae (Monogenea) of Lake Tanganyika: I: Four new species of Cichlidogyrus from Ophthalmotilapia ventralis (Teleostei: Cichlidae), the first record of this parasite family in the basin

“…The high host specificity of monogenean species has recently been evidenced by the discovery of extensive cryptic speciation in the group (POUYAUD et al 2006). Further evidence for the expected high host specificity is provided by the demonstration that the monogenean fauna may ZOOLOGIA 28 (2): 253-263, April, 2011 help understand the systematics, phylogeny and biogeography of their host groups (EUZET et al 1989, GUÉGAN & LAMBERT 1990, PAUGY et al 1990, VAN EVERY & KRITSKY 1992, NIEBERDING & OLIVIERI 2007, PLAISANCE et al 2008, BARSON et al 2010.…”
