Morphometric variation of the Chiorchis trematodes, parasitic in the American manatee (Trichechus manatus)
Morphological variation was studied in the adult cladorchiid trematodes Chiorchis spp. (Trematoda: Digenea), that parasitize the intestinal tract and caecum of the American manatee (Trichechus manatus). Specimens were collected from 22 manatees between 1980 and 1998 in Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Florida. We found statistically significant differences in analyses of variance in 31 morphological measurements from 284 specimens across different geographical regions, consistent with the existence of two species. Some specimens from Florida corresponded to the description for Chiorchis fabaceus Diesing1838, while specimens from the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and some from Florida, previously misidentified as C. fabaceus, corresponded to the description of C. groschafti Coy-Otero1989. The latter supports the distinction of two Chiorchis species parasitic on the American manatee. These species differ mainly by the presence or absence of an esophageal bulb, testes shape, position of the genital pore, and shape and distribution of the vitelline follicles.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife (IJP-PAW) publishes the results of original research on parasites of all wildlife, invertebrate and vertebrate. This includes free-ranging, wild populations, as well as captive wildlife, semi-domesticated species (e.g. reindeer) and farmed populations of recently domesticated or wild-captured species (e.g. cultured fishes). Articles on all aspects of wildlife parasitology are welcomed including taxonomy, biodiversity and distribution, ecology and epidemiology, population biology and host-parasite relationships. The impact of parasites on the health and conservation of wildlife is seen as an important area covered by the journal especially the potential role of environmental factors, for example climate. Also important to the journal is ''one health'' and the nature of interactions between wildlife, people and domestic animals, including disease emergence and zoonoses.
