Evolutionary processes involved in the diversification of chelonian and mammal polystomatid parasites (Platyhelminthes, Monogenea, Polystomatidae) revealed by palaeoecology of their hosts
(Elsevier, 2015)Polystomatid flatworms (Platyhelminthes) are monogenean parasites that infect exclusively aquatic or semi-aquatic sarcopterygians such as the Australian lungfish, amphibians, freshwater turtles and the African common ... -
Eye to eye: classification of conjunctival sac polystomes (Monogenea: Polystomatidae) revisited with the description of three new genera Apaloneotrema n. g., Aussietrema n. g. and Fornixtrema n. g.
(Springer, 2020)Polystomes (Monogenea: Polystomatidae) of freshwater turtles are currently represented by five genera, namely Neopolystoma, Polystomoides, Polystomoidella, Uropolystomoides and Uteropolystomoides. These parasites can infect ... -
Invasive species threat: parasite phylogenetics reveals patterns and processes of host-switching between non-native and native captive freshwater turtles
(Cambridge University Press, 2011)One of the major threats to biodiversity involves biological invasions with direct consequences on the stability of ecosystems. In this context, the role of parasites is not negligible as it may enhance the success of ... -
The morphology and attachment of Protopolystoma xenopodis (Monogenea: Polystomatidae) infecting the African clawed frog Xenopus laevis
(EDP Sciences, 2014)The African clawed frog Xenopus laevis (Anura: Pipidae) is host to more than 25 parasite genera encompassing most of the parasitic invertebrate groups. Protopolystoma xenopodis Price, 1943 (Monogenea: Polystomatidae) is ... -
A new polystomatid (Monogenea, Polystomatidae) from the mouth of the North American freshwater turtle Pseudemys Nelsoni
(Pensoft Publishers, 2015)Based on material collected from Pseudemys nelsoni (Reptilia: Chelonia: Emydidae) during a parasite survey of the herpetofauna around Gainesville, Florida, USA, Polystomoides nelsoni sp. n. is described as a new polystome ... -
Tracking platyhelminth parasite diversity from freshwater turtles in French Guiana: first report of Neopolystoma Price, 1939 (Monogenea: Polystomatidae) with the description of three new species
(BioMed Central, 2017)Background Polystomatid flatworms in chelonians are divided into three genera, i.e. Polystomoides Ward, 1917, Polystomoidella Price, 1939 and Neopolystoma Price, 1939, according to the number of haptoral hooks. Among the ... -
Two new polystomes (Monogenea: Polystomatidae) from the eyes of North American freshwater turtles
(Magnolia Press, 2012)Neopolystoma moleri n. sp. and Neopolystoma grossi n. sp. are described as new polystome species on the eyes of Apalone ferox and Pseudemys concinna floridana, respectively from Florida, USA. Eleven other polystome species ... -
Two new species of polystomes (Monogenea: Polystomatidae) from the anuran host Guibemantis liber
(Elsevier, 2014)Madapolystoma ramilijaonae n. sp. and Madapolystoma cryptica n. sp. (Monogenea, Polystomatidae) are described from the urinary bladder of disjunct populations of the Madagascar shrub frog Guibemantis liber. Although only ...
