First record of monogeneans from Schilbe intermedius in South Africa

Article scientifique 2022 Anglais

Résumé

Abstract The present study deals with the survey of monogeneans from Schilbe intermedius Rüppell, 1832 (silver catfish). Surveys were carried out at six localities in the northern region of South Africa where fish were collected and examined for monogenean gill parasites. There are presently no records of monogeneans from this fish species from South Africa. Fourteen monogenean species of Schilbetrema Paperna and Thurston, 1968 and two species of Schilbetrematoides Kritsky and Kulo, 1992 have been recorded from African schilbeids. Three species of the Schilbetrema were recorded during this study with variation in infestation: Schilbetrema quadricornis Paperna and Thurston, 1968 from all localities; Schilbetrema acornis Paperna and Thurston, 1968 from four localities; Schilbetrema undinula Kritsky and Kulo, 1992 recorded from one locality.
