Abstract
153 species of monogeneans have been recorded in Tunisian aquatic vertebrates (89 hosts). A list of these species with hosts is presented. A comparison of the Monogenea diversity off the coast of Tunisia with other regions of the Mediterranean Sea and the world is provided. The number of parasites depends on the number of hosts examined and their diversity in the region. This list shows that Monopisthocotylea is the richest group. In addition, new records have been reported during a survey of the diversity of monogeneans fish in the southern coast of Tunisia (Gulf of Gabes) including: Benedenia monticellii (Parona and Perugia, 1895) Johnston, 1929, Lamellodiscus bidens Euzet, 1984, Lamellodiscus confusus Amine, Euzet & Kechemir-Issad, 2007, Lamellodiscus ergensi Euzet & Oliver, 1966, Lamellodiscus hilii Euzet, 1984, Lamellodiscus impervius Euzet, 1984, Lamellodiscus knoepffleri Oliver, 1969, Lamellodiscus theroni Amine, Euzet & Kechemir-Issad, 2007, Ligophorus acuminatus Euzet & Suriano, 1977, Ligophorus angustus Euzet & Suriano, 1977, Ligophorus heteronchus Euzet & Suriano, 1977, Ligophorus macrocolpos Euzet & Suriano, 1977, Ligophorus minimus Euzet & Suriano, 1977, Capsala maccallumi Price, 1939 and Pseudanthocotyloides heterocotyle (Van Beneden, 1871) Euzet & Prost, 1969.
期刊介绍:
Helminthologia (HELMIN), published continuously since 1959, is the only journal in Europe that encompasses the individual and collaborative efforts of scientists working on a different topics of human, veterinary and plant helminthology. The journal responsibility is to enrich the theoretical and practical knowledge in very specific areas and thus contribute to the advancements in human and veterinary medicine and agronomy. Taking the advantage of comprehensive and multidisciplinary approaches journal still maintains its original spirit and is principal source of fresh scientific information regarding helminths, endoparasites and plant parasites. Addressing the most up-to date topics journal gained rightful and exceptional place next to the other high-quality scientific journals publishing in its field.
