Comparative analysis of monozoic fish tapeworms Caryophyllaeus laticeps (Pallas, 1781) and recently described Caryophyllaeus chondrostomi Barčák, Oros, Hanzelová, Scholz, 2017, using microsatellite markers

De novo developed microsatellite markers in gill parasites of the genus Dactylogyrus (Monogenea): revealing the phylogeographic pattern of population structure in the generalist parasite Dactylogyrus vistulae

“…These polymorphic tandem repeats were previously employed in studies of the population structures of medically important human parasites (e.g., Schistosoma haematobium, Gower et al, (2011)). However, they are still strongly underutilized in studies of parasitic platyhelminths in wildlife, as only a few papers focusing on cestodes (i.e., Luo, Nie, Zhang, Yao & Wang, 2003;Štefka, Hypša & Scholz, 2009;Umhang et al, 2018;Bazsalovicsová et al, 2020) or digeneans (i.e., Criscione, Cooper & Blouin, 2006;Louhi, Karvonen, Rellstab & Jokela, 2010;Criscione, Vilas, Paniagua & Blouin, 2011;Valdivia, Criscione, Cárdenas, Durán & Oliva, 2014;Dar, Vignoles, Rondeland & Dreyfuss, 2015;Juhásová et al, 2016;Vásquez et al, 2016;van Paridon, Colwell, Goater & Gilleard, 2017;Criscione, van Paridon, Gilleard & Goater, 2020) have so far been published. The above studies have shown that microsatellites, as molecular population markers, are more discriminative than rDNA and mtDNA.…”

“…The above studies have shown that microsatellites, as molecular population markers, are more discriminative than rDNA and mtDNA. They have also demonstrated their usefulness in revealing the population genetic structure and historical migratory routes of parasites with a wide distribution range (Štefka et al, 2009;Juhásová et al, 2016;Bazsalovicsová et al, 2020), and also migratory patterns of their hosts . However, prior to our study, no population genetic studies utilizing microsatellites had been performed on monogeneans.…”
