Abstract

Brine shrimps (Artemia spp.) are aquatic crustaceans known as important intermediate hosts for a wide range of helminth species. From 2011 to 2021, 4,347 individuals of brine shrimp were collected for this study, investigating the diversity and infection rates of helminth species in Artemia spp. from hypersaline waters in southern and eastern Ukraine. Seven helminth species were found: six cestodes (Anomotaenia tringae, Eurycestus avoceti, Branchiopodataenia gvozdevi, Confluaria podicipina, Fimbriarioides tadornae, Hymenolepis s.l. stellorae) and one unidentified acuariid nematode (Acuariidae gen. sp.). All these helminths were recorded for the first time in intermediate hosts in Ukraine, although they had been known from other regions. Additionally, partial sequences of the 18S rDNA gene as well as the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase subunit 1 (nad1) genes were obtained for varying numbers of cestode and nematode isolates for the first time. The overall prevalence of helminth infection in Artemia spp. was 21.9%, and the intensity ranged from one to three specimens.

乌克兰卤虾（Artemia）中蠕虫的多样性。

卤虾（Artemia spp.）是水生甲壳类动物，被认为是多种蠕虫物种的重要中间宿主。2011年至2021年，本研究收集了4347只卤虾，调查了乌克兰南部和东部高盐水域Artemia spp.蠕虫物种的多样性和感染率。共发现寄生虫7种，分别为：三角带异常绦虫、牛油果长尾绦虫、gvozdevbranchiopodataenia、podicipina、taadornae、Hymenolepis s.l stellorae) 6种，未鉴定的针虫线虫1种（针虫科）。所有这些蠕虫都是首次在乌克兰的中间宿主中记录到的，尽管它们在其他地区已经被发现。此外，首次从不同数量的线虫和线虫分离物中获得了18S rDNA基因以及线粒体细胞色素c氧化酶亚基1 （cox1）和烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸脱氢酶亚基1 （nad1）基因的部分序列。蝇蛆总感染率为21.9%，感染强度为1 ~ 3份。

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.
