“…This is the first report of C. orientalis from T. thynnus and the first report in the Atlantic basin. The dimensions of the specimens of C. orientalis from T. thynnus were similar to those of the specimens collected from T. maccoyii (see Shirakashi et al, 2013) and from T. orientalis off Nagasaki Prefecture (Japan), and higher than those from T. orientalis off Mie Prefecture (Japan) (Ogawa et al, 2010). The present specimens exhibit longer oesophagus, anterior caeca and seminal vesicle compared with the specimens previously described from other Thunnus spp.…”

“…Taking into account the strict host-specificity of the species within the family Aporocotylidae in general and within the genus Cardicola in particular (Ogawa et al, 2010), the eggs sequenced in our study probably belong to a new species. Although the eggs of C. orientalis and Cardicola sp.…”

“…However, it was demonstrated that Cardicola spp. can infect bluefin tunas of different size-classes, including young-of-the-year No important morphological differences between the three species of Cardicola infecting T. thynnus and their original descriptions were observed (see Cribb et al, 2000;Ogawa et al, 2010Ogawa et al, , 2011 apart from the dimensions of the body and some internal organs (i.e. seminal vesicle).…”

“…Five species have been found in tunas (Scombridae: Thunnini): Cardicola ahi Yamaguti, 1970 in Thunnus albacares (Bonnaterre) and T. obesus (Lowe); C. congruenta Lebedev & Mamaev, 1968 in Euthynnus affinis (Cantor); C. forsteri Cribb, Daintith & Munday, 2000 in T. maccoyii (Castelnau) and T. thynnus (L.) (see Bullard et al, 2004); C. opisthorchis Ogawa, Ishimaru, Shirakashi, Takami & Grabner, 2011 in T. orientalis (Temminck & Schlegel) and T. thynnus (see Ogawa et al, 2011); and C. orientalis Ogawa, Tanaka, Sugihara & Takami, 2010 in T. maccoyii and T. orientalis (see Shirakashi et al, 2013). All these species have been recorded in the Pacific Ocean, although C. forsteri was also collected in T. thynnus from the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean and C. opisthorchis in T. thynnus from the Mediterranean (Aiken et al, 2007).…”

Blood flukes of the genus Cardicola Short, 1953 are considered the most potentially pathogenic parasites in bluefin tuna cultures. Morphological study and genetic analyses of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer ITS-2 and the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase 1 (cox1) gene fragments revealed the occurrence of four aporocotylid species (C. forsteri Cribb, Daintith & Munday, 2000, C. orientalis Ogawa, Tanaka, Sugihara & Takami, 2010, C. opisthorchis Ogawa, Ishimaru, Shirakashi, Takami & Grabner, 2011 and Cardicola sp.) in 421 Thunnus thynnus (L.) from the Western Mediterranean (274 fished from the wild and 147 from sea-cages). Cardicola opisthorchis was the most abundant species, with higher prevalence in the cage-reared fish than in those fished in the wild (21 vs 6%, p < 0.05). Adults of three species were recovered: C. forsteri from both gills and heart, C. opisthorchis from heart and C. orientalis from gills. The secondary gill lamellae were profusely infected by eggs of C. orientalis. A fourth species was found in four tunas, based on the molecular analyses of eggs apparently indistinguishable in size and shape from the eggs of C. orientalis. The findings provided evidence that infections with Cardicola spp. differed in relation to locality, host origin (wild vs cage-reared) and site of infection. It is necessary to estimate the possible different pathogenic effects of each species of Cardicola in order to take appropriate control measures.

Two new species of Cardicola Short, 1953 are described from the milkfish, Chanos chanos Forsskål (Gonorynchiformes: Chanidae), obtained from off Lizard Island on the northern Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and North Stradbroke Island in southeast Queensland. These are the first known blood flukes from this order of fishes. Cardicola suni n. sp. differs from all other Cardicola spp. by a combination of a large ovoid oral sucker surrounding a subterminal mouth, recurved tegumental spines up to 16 μm long, anterior caeca occupying 25.1-31.3% (28.7%) of total body length and a mostly-intercaecal ovary. Cardicola jiigurru n. sp. differs from C. suni n. sp. and all other species of Cardicola by a combination of a narrowly lanceolate body, weakly-muscularised and poorly-demarcated oral sucker, minute tegumental spines <1 µm in length, and anterior caeca occupying 15.9-22.0% (19.4%) of total body length, an almost entirely post-caecal ovary and the male genital pore terminal on a dorsolateral protuberance. A third species, closely resembling C. suni n. sp., was also discovered off Wangetti Beach, north Queensland, but is not described due to lack of material. Molecular phylogenetic analysis, based on both ITS2 and partial 28S rDNA regions, shows that these three species form a clade nested within that formed by existing species of Cardicola.
