“…Since only immature females of Doryphallophora harrisoni were reported (cf. Boxshall & Lincoln, 1987), there remains a possibility that mature females of this species have a neck, because D. harrisoni parasitizes relatively large-sized, asellote isopods.…”

“…The small-sized ectoparasitic crustacean group Tantulocarida exclusively utilizes free-living crustaceans such as copepods (e.g., Becker, 1975), ostracods (Bradford & Hewitt, 1980), isopods (e.g., Boxshall & Lincoln, 1983), cumaceans (Bonnier, 1903), and tanaidaceans (e.g., Greve, 1965) as host. Over 20 species have been reported from subtidal to abyssal zones in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific regions (see Huys, 1991).…”

“…Over 20 species have been reported from subtidal to abyssal zones in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific regions (see Huys, 1991). The hypothetical life cycle of Tantulocarida was clearly presented by Boxshall & Lincoln (1987) and Huys (1991). The Tantulocarida has a single larval stage, which is often found free-living in sediments before attaching to a crustacean host (Huys, 1989(Huys, , 1991Huys, Andersen & Kristensen, 1992).…”

A mature adult female of Ito£tantulus misophricola Huys, Ohtsuka & Boxshall, 1992 (Crustacea: Tantulocarida: Deoterthridae) is described for the first time from the host misophrioid copepod Misophriopsis okinawensis Ohtsuka, Huys, Boxshall & ItO, 1992 collected off Okinawa, South Japan. The female contains 26 mature, spherical eggs of ca. 30 fJm in diameter in the trunk sac, and is characterized by the lack of an elongate neck region formed between the larval cephalon and the expanded trunk sac. Mature females of the families Basipodellidae, Deoterthridae and Doryphallopholidae possess a characteristic of the lack of an elongate neck region, whereas those of the families Microdajidae and Onceroxenidae, in particular, Microdajus spp., have a well-developed neck region.

Parasitic Crustacea

Parasitic Crustacea have been present in scientific literature since Linnaeus introduced the first classification system (binomial nomenclature). Crustaceans are considered to be the most morphologically diverse arthropods, with currently 19 parasitic orders known to science. This chapter reviews the history of discovery for each of the major parasitic Crustacea groups, highlighting some of the key developments that have influenced our current understanding of these parasites. Each taxonomic group is briefly introduced, followed by a synopsis on some of the outstanding contributions within that group. Knowledge development is followed, from the first parasites discovered to other historical highlights that influenced the groups up to this point. Other important discoveries (both taxonomic and ecological) are also noted, serving as a preview to the host-parasite interactions covered in the subsequent chapters. Additionally, several researchers who have added significant contributions to our knowledge of the parasitic Crustacea (specifically in taxonomy and discovery) are introduced, along with photographs of a select few. This historical review of the crustacean parasites provides a background to these diverse and abundant organisms and will contribute to a better understanding of their unique niche in the aquatic environment.
