A new species of Grillotia Guiart, 1927 (Cestoda: Trypanorhyncha) from the spotted skate, Raja straeleni Poll, in South Africa

Tentaculariids (Cestoda, Trypanorhyncha) of elasmobranchs from Malaysian Borneo

“…The Coral Triangle is an area of the tropical marine waters with a rich biodiversity (Allen 2007), including elasmobranchs as final hosts for trypanorhynchs, where southern Indonesian waters together with Malaysian Borneo waters are within this recognised zone. Of the 335 valid trypanorhynch species known to date (Haseli & Malekpour Fard 2017; Beveridge et al 2017a; Schaeffner 2018; Beveridge & Schaeffner 2018; Schaeffner & Marques 2018; Shafiei & Haseli 2019; Palm et al 2019, 2020; Beveridge et al 2021; Haseli et al 2021; Oosthuizen et al 2021; Herzog & Jensen 2022; present study), a total of 86 different species (26%) have been recorded until now from Indonesia, and of the 58 tentaculariid species, 21 species (36%) occur in Indonesian waters (Palm 2004; Palm et al 2009, 2019, 2020; Schaeffner et al 2011; Schaeffner & Beveridge 2012a, b, c, 2013a, b, c, 2014; present study). Since most of the trypanorhynch species reported so far off Borneo (see Schaeffner & Beveridge 2014; Palm et al 2020; present study) have also been recorded from Indonesia other than its Bornean part, it seems that the trypanorhynch fauna of Borneo resembles the one from Indonesian waters, since both areas are within the Coral Triangle.…”

Tapeworms (Platyhelminthes, Cestoda) from marine chondrichthyans of the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean, and the sub-Antarctic and Antarctic islands: a checklist

“…Cestodes as parasites of chondrichthyans have been mostly recorded in the Northern Hemisphere ( Caira et al 2022 ). However, reports in southern latitudes have remarkably increased in the last decades due to focused sampling efforts in the area ( Menoret and Ivanov 2012a , b , 2014 , 2015 , 2021 ; Pickering and Caira 2012 ; Caira et al 2013a ; Abbott and Caira 2014 ; Mutti and Ivanov 2016 ; Menoret et al 2017 ; Franzese and Ivanov 2018 , 2020a , b , 2021 ; Palm et al 2019 ; Oosthuizen et al 2021 ; Franzese et al 2022 ; Van Der Spuy et al 2022 ). The present annotated checklist comprises 57 valid cestode species of 28 genera in nine orders, registered in the Río de la Plata estuary, Southwestern Atlantic off Argentina and the surrounding waters off Antarctica.…”
