What causes transformation of the parasitic copepod? A new example of host switching in the family Anthessiidae (Cyclopoida) from Singaporean waters, with the proposal of a new genus

Abstract: Merlionia zeeae , a new species belonging to a new genus, is described as a member of the cyclopoid family Anthessiidae (Copepoda), based on both sexes collected off the coast of Singapore. The new species was found in the gill cavities of the longnosed stargazer, Ichthyscopus lebeck (Actinopteri: Perciformes: Uranoscopidae), although almost all members of the family are associated with molluscan hosts. However, this copepod is not similar to other genera of the family Anthessiidae due to possessing the follow… Show more

“…cucullatus from three species of the genus Aplysia in this study represent the second record of the copepod with the morphological description based on both sexes. The specimens which Uyeno et al (2023) used in their molecular analyses were also examined in the present study. Together with the following three congeners, i.e., An.…”
