“…Epicaridium and cryptoniscus larvae are known as freeswimming stages but microniscus larvae, the second developmental stage, are found feeding on hemolymph while attached on free-living copepods that serve as intermediate hosts (e.g., Williams & Boyko 2012;McDermott et al 2020). Currently, 637 species in 169 genera of bopyrids, 8 species in 1 genus of Ionidae, and 36 species in 16 genera of entoniscids are recoginized (Boyko et al 2008 onwards;Boxshall & Hayes 2019). In this paper, two bopyroids are reported infesting two species of common shore crabs in the intertidal zone of the Ryukyu Islands, Japan: Kepon grapsi (Nobili, 1905) nov. comb.…”

A new genus of entoniscid isopod (Crustacea: Peracarida: Bopyroidea) parasitic on common intertidal shore crabs from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan, with a new distributional record of <i>Kepon grapsi</i> (Nobili, 1905) (Bopyridae) nov. comb.

Two species of bopyroid isopods are first reported on crabs collected from rocky beaches of Yoron Island, middle part of Ryukyu Islands, Japan. A bopyrid, Kepon grapsi (Nobili, 1905) nov. comb., is recorded based on both sexes obtained from the branchial chambers of Grapsus tenuicrustatus (Herbst) (Grapsidae); the genus Lobocepon Nobili, 1905 is synonymized with Kepon Duvernoy, 1840. The finding of K. grapsi nov. comb. in the present study represents the first record from Japan. An entoniscid, Allocancrion yunnu gen. et sp. nov., is described on the basis of the adult females, males, and epircaridium larvae from visceral cavities of Plagusia squamosa (Herbst) (Plagusiidae). Allocancrion gen. nov. is similar to Cancrion but it is differentiated from it by the male lacking pereopod 6 and the epicaridium larva with a very short, unmodified, pereopod 6.

“…We conclude that the parasitic copepods infecting C. venezuelae, C. glaucofraenum and C. dicrus in the BVI are all P. tortugensis. COI sequence data are sparse for parasitic copepods (Boxshall & Hayes 2019). We could find no published sequences of putative conspecifics (P. tortugensis) or congeners against which to compare our samples, and sequences from confamilial taxa (family Chondracanthidae) are few.…”

Previous work, using morphological characters, identified a generalist copepod parasite (Pharodes tortugensis) at high prevalence on two common gobies (Coryphopterus glaucofraenum and C. dicrus) in the British Virgin Islands (BVI). DNA barcoding subsequently revealed C. glaucofraenum to be three morphologically similar species (C. glaucofraenum, C. venezuelae and C. tortugae), casting doubt on host identities in the BVI and the classification of the parasite as a single species. Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) data from 67 gobies in the BVI showed that, in addition to C. dicrus, host gobies were a mix of C. glaucofraenum and C. venezuelae, while C. tortugae was unexpectedly absent from the study area. COI data (n = 70) indicated that the copepod infecting all three hosts was a single species, almost certainly P. tortugensis. The pharodes-coryphopterus interaction has a strong impact on host dynamics in the BVI, and a revised understanding of these dynamics must account for any differences among the three newly confirmed hosts in transmission of, and susceptibility to, the shared parasite. No other infected hosts were discovered at our sites, but P. tortugensis is reportedly widespread and infects 12 additional host species elsewhere. Further DNA barcoding is thus needed to test whether P. tortugensis is truly a widespread generalist, or instead represents a group of more specialized cryptic species.

“…Los crustáceos son uno de los grupos de invertebrados más exitosos del planeta, con aproximadamente 40000 especies descritas y unas 150000 especies reconocidas, muchas de ellas habitando en ecosistemas acuáticos (Hobbs, 2012). Cerca de 7000 especies de crustáceos son parásitos de otros seres vivos (Boxshall & Hayes, 2019). En la revisión realizada se reportaron dos crustáceos parasitando al 100% de los ejemplares del cíclido S. jurupari provenientes del río Jari (Amapá, Brasil): Argulus multicolor perteneciente a la subclase Branchiura y Ergasilus coatiarus perteneciente a la subclase Copépoda (Oliveira et al, 2017).…”

Los cíclidos, son peces de climas cálidos que presentan una rica variedad de patrones de coloración, comportamiento, hábitos alimenticios y tamaños. Los cíclidos del género Satanoperca están ampliamente distribuidos en la región oriental de América del Sur y son peces que tienen importancia económica en la industria ornamental y como peces de consumo humano directo. Las enfermedades causadas por agentes parasitarios afectan a la industria acuícola para producción de carne como también a los criadores de peces con fines ornamentales. Se hizo una revisión en todas las bases de datos bibliográficos disponibles en internet, de los parásitos reportados en el periodo 2001 - 2022 en las especies Satanoperca jurupari y S. pappaterra. Se reportó un total de 18 trabajos publicados sobre la materia de estudio en los últimos 21 años, siendo el 94,44% de ellos de autoría de investigadores brasileños. Los tres grupos de parásitos más diversos que se reportaron infestando a estos dos cíclidos fueron los siguientes: Nematoda y Digenea con seis especies, y Monogenea con cinco especies. A diferencia de Satanoperca pappaterra que solo registró un total de ocho parásitos, S. jurupari fue infestado por un total de 24 parásitos.
