Checklist of the Monogenea (Platyhelminthes) parasitic in Tunisian aquatic vertebrates
View through CrossRef
Summary153 species of monogeneans have been recorded in Tunisian aquatic vertebrates (89 hosts). A list of these species with hosts is presented. A comparison of the Monogenea diversity off the coast of Tunisia with other regions of the Mediterranean Sea and the world is provided. The number of parasites depends on the number of hosts examined and their diversity in the region. This list shows that Monopisthocotylea is the richest group. In addition, new records have been reported during a survey of the diversity of monogeneans fish in the southern coast of Tunisia (Gulf of Gabes) including:Benedenia monticellii(Parona and Perugia, 1895) Johnston, 1929, Lamellodiscus bidensEuzet, 1984, Lamellodiscus confususAmine, Euzet & Kechemir-Issad, 2007, Lamellodiscus ergensiEuzet & Oliver, 1966, Lamellodiscus hiliiEuzet, 1984, Lamellodiscus imperviusEuzet, 1984, Lamellodiscus knoepffleriOliver, 1969, Lamellodiscus theroniAmine, Euzet & Kechemir-Issad, 2007, Ligophorus acuminatusEuzet & Suriano, 1977, Ligophorus angustusEuzet & Suriano, 1977, Ligophorus heteronchusEuzet & Suriano, 1977, Ligophorus macrocolposEuzet & Suriano, 1977, Ligophorus minimusEuzet & Suriano, 1977, Capsala maccallumiPrice, 1939 andPseudanthocotyloides heterocotyle(Van Beneden, 1871) Euzet & Prost, 1969.
