Abstract

The infection by Opecoeloides furcatus and Poracanthium furcatum (Opecoeliidae) was studied in 121 Mullus barbatus and 113 M. surmuletus collected from the Spanish south-eastern Mediterranean. The prevalence of infection was most frequent in M. surmuletus with values of 81.42% for O. furcatus and 38.05% for P. furcatum. In M. barbatus the prevalences of O. furcatus and P. furcatum were 54.54% and 14.88% respectively. Statistically significant differences were found between the infection of the two hosts with P. furcatum. No significant differences in worm burdens could be attributable to host size or to seasonal changes, although a lower infection of M. barbatus by O. furcatus occurred in the autumn. Furthermore, the electrophoretic mobility of the enzyme malic dehydrogenase (MDH) was also studied and both digeneans presented different patterns, corresponding in both cases to homozygotic genotypes.

鲃鱼和鲻鱼中出现的两种 opecoeliid digeneans

研究了从西班牙地中海东南部采集的121只鲃鱼和113只鲻鱼受Opecoeloides furcatus和Poracanthium furcatum（Opecoeliidae）感染的情况。M.surmuletus的感染率最高，O. furcatus的感染率为81.42%，P. furcatum的感染率为38.05%。在 M. barbatus 中，O. furcatus 和 P. furcatum 的感染率分别为 54.54% 和 14.88%。两种宿主感染毛皮蝇的情况在统计学上存在显著差异。虽然秋季毛皮蠹蛾对矛尾狒狒的感染率较低，但寄主大小或季节变化并不能导致虫体负担的明显差异。此外，还对苹果酸脱氢酶（MDH）的电泳迁移率进行了研究，结果发现两种二基因都呈现出不同的模式，在两种情况下都与同源基因型相对应。

期刊介绍： Journal of Helminthology publishes original papers and review articles on all aspects of pure and applied helminthology, particularly those helminth parasites of environmental health, medical or veterinary importance. Research papers on helminths in wildlife hosts, including plant and insect parasites, are also published along with taxonomic papers contributing to the systematics of a group. The journal will be of interest to academics and researchers involved in the fields of human and veterinary parasitology, public health, microbiology, ecology and biochemistry.
