Histopathological effects on two carangid fishes in northwest of the Arab Gulf, Iraq infected with trypanorhynch cestodes

Morphological, molecular and pathological appraisal of Callitetrarhynchus gracilis plerocerci (Lacistorhynchidae) infecting Atlantic little tunny (Euthynnusalletteratus) in Southeastern Mediterranean

“…Here the plerocercoids were noticed to be attached to the surface of the internal organs or frequently found loose in the abdominal cavity. This finding agrees with the results of Al-Niaeem et al [39] .…”

“…Relatively few studies have investigated the effects of trypanorhyncha on their hosts [39] . Paperna [40] reported that encysted larvae of cestodes might not interfere with fish physiological functions and homeostasis, even when numerous in the mesenteries.…”

Marine parasite in a freshwater wetland: new host and geographical records of Progrillotia dasyatidis (Cestoda: Trypanorhyncha) from Gasterosteus aculeatus (Actinopterygii: Gasterosteidae) in Bulgaria, with comments on its life-cycle

“…It consists of three species parasitic in rays as adults: Progrillotia pastinacae Dollfus, 1946 (type species); Progrillotia louiseuzeti Dollfus, 1969;and Progrillotia dasyatidis Beveridge, Neifar & Euzet, 2004(Dollfus, 1946, 1969Beveridge et al, 2004Beveridge et al, , 2017Palm, 2004;Marques et al, 2005). Larvae have been recorded in marine demersal and pelagic teleosts from coastal Atlantic waters as well as from the Black Sea, Marmara Sea and the Persian Gulf (Palm, 2004;Marques et al, 2005;Oguz & Bray, 2008;Al-Niaeem et al, 2014;Polyakova et al, 2014Polyakova et al, , 2017Özer & Öztürk, 2017;Çelik & Oğuz, 2021). Another species, Progrillotia dollfusi Carvajal & Rego, 1983, originally reported as plerocerci from sciaenid fishes from South America (Carvajal & Rego, 1983;Pereira & Boeger, 2005), has been supposed (Beveridge et al, 2004;Palm, 2004) and proved (Menoret & Ivanov, 2009) as a member of the genus Grillotia Guiart, 1927 (Lacistorhynchidae), currently known as Grillotia (Christianella) carvajalregorum Menoret & Ivanov, 2009 (see also Beveridge & Campbell, 2010).…”
