One of the most widely distributed African freshwater fish is the African sharptooth catfish
Clarias gariepinus (Burchell) that is naturally distributed in 8 of the 10 ichthyofaunal regions …

We examine the extent to which adult helminths of freshwater fishes have been part of the
Great American Biotic Interchange (GABI), by integrating information in published studies …

We present a molecular phylogeny of the Proteocephalidea based on 28S rDNA sequence
data that is a follow-up to the paper by Zehnder & Mariaux (1999). Twenty-three new …

Parasites of 136 specimens of Hemisorubim platyrhynchos, popularly called jurupoca, were
analyzed. Fourteen parasite species were recorded: four digeneans (Crocodilicola …

Proteocephalidean tapeworms form a diverse group of parasites currently known from 315
valid species. Most of the diversity of adult proteocephalideans can be found in freshwater …

An exhaustive literature search supplemented by a critical examination of records made it
possible to present an annotated checklist of tapeworms (Cestoda) that, as adults or larvae …

A comparative study of the scoleces of caryophyllidean tapeworms (Cestoda:
Caryophyllidea), parasitic in cypriniform fishes in the Palaearctic Region, was carried out …

The treatment of the Onchoproteocephalidea presented here differs from those of the 18
other cestode orders addressed in this Special Publication in that the members of this order …

Two ribosomal DNA sequences were used to infer phylogenetic relationships among the
Eucestoda order Proteocephalidea. A 437bp portion of the 16S mitochondrial and a 1149bp …

Recent studies have demonstrated the invalidity of the Pseudophyllidea, a long-term
recognised order of tapeworms (Platyhelminthes: Cestoda), typical in possessing two …
