Gnathia marleyi sp. nov. (Crustacea, Isopoda, Gnathiidae) from the Eastern Caribbean
(Magnolia Press, 2012)
A new species of gnathiid was collected in June-August 2008 and 2009 from various sites in the Eastern Caribbean. Third stage
pranizae taken from fish hosts were maintained in fresh sea water until their moult into males ...
Unusual haemogregarines parasitizing intertidal teleosts from the subtropical east coast of South Africa, with the description of Haemogregarina kunegemina sp. nov.
(Cambridge University Press, 2012)
Of three intertidal fish species collected on the east coast of South Africa, 67% (127/190) had haemogregarine infections. Horned rockskippers, Antennablennius bifilum Günther, 1861, demonstrated 77% parasite prevalence, ...
Gnathia masca sp. nov. (Crustacea, Isopoda, Gnathiidae) from Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia
(Magnolia Press, 2012)
Gnathia masca sp. nov. is described from material collected off Coconut Beach, Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Aus-tralia. Males are characterised by a cephalosome with a shallow dorsal sulcus that stretches half its ...
Hepatozoon species (Adeleorina: Hepatozoidae) of African bufonids, with morphological description and molecular diagnosis of Hepatozoon ixoxo sp. nov. parasitising three Amietophrynus species (Anura: Bufonidae)
(BioMed Central, 2014)
Background
Haemogregarines comprise a large group of apicomplexan blood parasites. In 1996 all anuran haemogregarines still in the genus Haemogregarina Danilewsky, 1885 were reassigned to the genus Hepatozoon Miller, ...
Reassignment of the land tortoise haemogregarine Haemogregarina fitzsimonsi Dias 1953 (Adeleorina: Haemogregarinidae) to the genus Hepatozoon Miller 1908 (Adeleorina: Hepatozoidae) based on parasite morphology, life cycle and phylogenetic analysis of 18S rDNA sequence fragments
(Cambridge University Press, 2014)
Research was undertaken to clarify the true taxonomic position of the terrestrial tortoise apicomplexan, Haemogregarina fitzsimonsi (Dias, 1953). Thin blood films were screened from 275 wild and captive South African ...
Conservation of fishes in the Elands River, Mpumalanga, South Africa: past, present and future
(AOSIS, 2014)
In an isolated reach, between two large natural waterfalls in the Elands River in Mpumalanga, populations of a critically endangered Kneria sp., the endangered Chiloglanis bifurcus and a genetically unique population of ...
Redescription, molecular characterisation and taxonomic re-evaluation of a unique African monitor lizard haemogregarine Karyolysus paradoxa (Dias, 1954) n. comb. (Karyolysidae)
(BioMed Central, 2016)
Background: Within the African monitor lizard family Varanidae, two haemogregarine genera have been reported.
These comprise five species of Hepatozoon Miller, 1908 and a species of Haemogregarina Danilewsky, 1885.

Drought-associated absence of alien invasive anchorworm, Lernaea cyprinacea (Copepoda: Lernaeidae), is related to changes in fish health
(Elsevier, 2017)
Recently, Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus Peters, 1852) were listed on the IUCN Red List as near-threatened as their populations are at risk due to hybridization. Another factor that potentially contributes to ...
Spatial and temporal variation of invertebrate community structure in flood-controlled tropical floodplain wetlands
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
The Phongolo floodplain in South Africa is a unique system because of its biodiversity and socio-economic value. The spatial and temporal changes of invertebrate communities of the downstream floodplain influenced by ...
Developing an apicomplexan dna barcoding system to detect blood parasites of small coral reef fishes
(American Society of Parasitologists, 2017)
Apicomplexan parasites are obligate parasites of many species of vertebrates. To date, there is very limited
understanding of these parasites in the most-diverse group of vertebrates, actinopterygian fishes. While DNA ...
