Abstract
Purpose: In this study we describe a new species Microcotyle tazeroutii n. sp. (Monogenea: Microcotylidae) found on the gills and operculum of the boarfish Capros aper (Caproidae) off the Algerian coast of the Western Mediterranean.
Methods: Monogeneans were observed alive or recently dead on the operculum and gills using a dissecting microscope, measured and drawn for morphological study. Furthermore, a molecular analysis was conducted using a partial fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) of two specimens of monogeneans and a tissue sample of the fish's gills in which the parasites were found to confirm the identity of fish.
Results: The new species Microcotyle tazeroutii n. sp., exhibits a combination of morphological features that differentiate it from all other known species within the genus, such as the shape and the size of body, the haptor length, the number and the size of clamps and testes, the number of spines of the genital atrium and the size of eggs. Additionally, a molecular analysis of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1 gene) revealed significant interspecific differences between Microcotyle tazeroutii n. sp. and previously published sequences of other Microcotyle species.
Conclusion: The morphological and molecular analyses revealed that Microcotyle tazeroutii n. sp. has unique characteristics that distinguish it from all previously identified species and confirmed the presence of Microcotyle within the Caproidae family for the first time.
Microcotyle Tazeroutii n. sp. (Monogenea: Microcotylidae) from the Gills of the Boarfish Capros aper Linnaeus, 1758 (Teleostei: Caproidae) off the Algerian Coast, Western Mediterranean.
目的：在本研究中，我们描述了在地中海西部阿尔及利亚海岸的野猪鱼 Capros aper（Caproidae）的鳃和厣上发现的新物种 Microcotyle tazeroutii n. sp.（Monogenea：Microcotylidae）：方法：使用解剖显微镜观察厣和鳃上活着或刚死不久的单齿藻，测量并绘制形态研究图。此外，还利用两个单膜虫标本的线粒体细胞色素 c 氧化酶亚单位 1（cox1）的部分片段和发现寄生虫的鱼鳃组织样本进行了分子分析，以确认鱼类的身份：结果：新物种Microcotyle tazeroutii n. sp.具有不同于该属所有其他已知物种的形态特征，如身体的形状和大小、触角长度、夹子和睾丸的数量和大小、生殖器心房的棘数量以及卵的大小。此外，对线粒体细胞色素 c 氧化酶亚基 1（cox1 基因）的分子分析表明，Microcotyle tazeroutii n. sp.与之前发表的其他 Microcotyle 种类的序列存在显著的种间差异：形态学和分子分析表明，Microcotyle tazeroutii n. sp.
期刊介绍：
Acta Parasitologica is an international journal covering the latest advances in the subject.
Acta Parasitologica publishes original papers on all aspects of parasitology and host-parasite relationships, including the latest discoveries in biochemical and molecular biology of parasites, their physiology, morphology, taxonomy and ecology, as well as original research papers on immunology, pathology, and epidemiology of parasitic diseases in the context of medical, veterinary and biological sciences. The journal also publishes short research notes, invited review articles, book reviews.
The journal was founded in 1953 as "Acta Parasitologica Polonica" by the Polish Parasitological Society and since 1954 has been published by W. Stefanski Institute of Parasitology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. Since 1992 in has appeared as Acta Parasitologica in four issues per year.
