E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The present study contributes to the knowledge of the cestode fauna of species of Styracura de Carvalho, Loboda & da Silva, which is the putative sister taxon of freshwater potamotrygonids—a unique group of batoids restricted to Neotro- pical freshwater systems. We document species of Rhinebothrium Linton, 1890 as a result of the examination of newly collected specimens of Styracura from five different localities representing the eastern Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Overall, we examined 33 spiral intestines, 11 from the eastern Pacific species Styracura pacifica (Beebe & Tee-Van) and 22 from the Caribbean species S. schmardae (Werner). However, only samples from the Caribbean were infected with members of Rhinebothrium. Rhinebothrium tetralobatum Brooks, 1977, originally described from S. schmardae—as Hi- mantura schmardae (Werner)—off the Caribbean coast of Colombia based on six specimens is redescribed. This rede- scription provides the first data on the microthriches pattern, more details of internal anatomy (i.e., inclusion of histological sections) and expands the ranges for the counts and measurements of several features. -
Tapeworms of the Mangrove Whipray, Himantura Granulata Macleay, and an Investigation of Host Size As It Relates to Tapeworm Faunal Composition
Tapeworms of the Mangrove Whipray, Himantura granulata Macleay, and an Investigation of Host Size as it Relates to Tapeworm Faunal Composition by Kaylee S. Herzog Submitted to the graduate degree program in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Dr. Kirsten Jensen, Chairperson ________________________________ Dr. Paulyn Cartwright ________________________________ Dr. Andrew E. Z. Short Date defended: July 7, 2016 The Thesis Committee for Kaylee S. Herzog certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Tapeworms of the Mangrove Whipray, Himantura granulata Macleay, and an Investigation of Host Size as it Relates to Tapeworm Faunal Composition ________________________________ Dr. Kirsten Jensen, Chairperson Date approved: July 18, 2016 ii ABSTRACT Since its description by Macleay in 1883, only three tapeworm species have been reported to parasitize the mangrove whipray, Himantura granulata. These are the rhinebothriideans Rhinebothrium himanturi and a presumably new species referred to as “Rhinebothrium sp.”, and the trypanorhynch Prochristianella clarkeae. Elasmobranch collection efforts in the Solomon Islands and northern Australia from 1997 to 2012 yielded ten specimens of H. granulata, all of which were examined for tapeworms. Morphological and molecular data indicate that at least 31 additional species of tapeworms in 13 genera from five orders parasitize H. granulata from these localities, bringing the total number of tapeworm species known from this host to 34 species. Included in these 34 species are three new species representing two new lecanicephalidean genera, and at least six new species in the rhinebothriidean genus Anthocephalum. -

T. A. Polyakova A. O. Kovalevsky Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas of RAS, Sevastopol, Russian Federation E-mail: [email protected] Received by the Editor 08.07.2019; after revision 04.10.2019; accepted for publication 27.03.2020; published online 31.03.2020. The first data on marine fish parasites in Karadag nature reserve water area were published at the be- ginning of the 20ᵗʰ century. By the beginning of the 21ˢᵗ century, information on the fauna of cestodes in this area of the Black Sea included data on 19 species recorded in 24 fish species. However, taxon- omy of this class of helminths has changed significantly over the last decade, and regional fauna needs to be revised. The aim of this work is to revise the species composition of fish cestodes in the water area of the Karadag nature reserve and adjacent areas on the basis of new data obtained and in accordance with current systematics of Cestoda. The material for this study was the collections of cestodes gathered by the staff of IBSS RAS Environmental Parasitology Department in the area of the Karadag nature re- serve in different years, as well as our own collections of 1754 specimens of rays and teleosts of 53 species (2005–2018). -
Trophic Links and the Parasites That Exploit Them: the Case of New Zealand’S Endemic Rough Skate
Trophic links and the parasites that exploit them: the case of New Zealand’s endemic Rough Skate Jerusha Dianna Louise Bennett A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science, Ecology University of Otago Dunedin, New Zealand March 15, 2018 Drawing of Zearaja nasuta, New Zealand’s rough skate. Picture courtesy of Taila Bennett Abstract Understanding how natural systems are structured and function is central to ecological theory. Although easily overlooked, parasites are ubiquitous and fundamental components of natural systems. Among their various roles, parasites strongly influence the flow of energy between and within food webs. Within marine food webs, elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays) are both important predators and hosts to tapeworm parasites. Feeding links are potential transmission routes for tapeworms to exploit, and resolving these pathways provides insight into the ecological role of predators and their parasites within ecosystems. Over 1000 tapeworms are known to parasitise elasmobranchs, although few life cycles are resolved. This thesis furthers our understanding of parasite trophic transmission through investigating the feeding ecology and parasitic links of a relatively understudied elasmobranch species, the New Zealand’s rough skate, Zearaja nasuta. Skates were obtained off the east coast of New Zealand. Their stomachs and intestines were analysed to determine their diet, their parasites, and the parasites of their prey. A fragment of the 28S gene was amplified from each different tapeworm morphotype recovered from either skates or their prey. Phylogenetic relationships were inferred from molecular data using Bayesian inference. Rough skates in this area between the Summer and Autumn months were found to be specialised predators, occupying a unique role in the benthic realm. -
Eucestoda: Rhinebothriidea: Rhinebothriidae): a New Species from Neotropical Freshwater Stingrays (Potamotrygonidae
© Institute of Parasitology, Biology Centre CAS Folia Parasitologica 2015, 62: 057 doi: 10.14411/fp.2015.057 http://folia.paru.cas.cz Research Article Rhinebothrium jaimei sp. n. (Eucestoda: Rhinebothriidea: Rhinebothriidae): a new species from Neotropical freshwater stingrays (Potamotrygonidae) Fernando P. L. Marques1 and Florian B. Reyda2 1 Departamento de Zoologia – Instituto de Biociências, Universidade de São Paulo, Cidade Universitária, São Paulo, SP, Brazil; 2 Biology Department & Biological Field Station, State University of New York, College at Oneonta, NY, USA Abstract: Neotropical freshwater stingrays (Batoidea: Potamotrygonidae) host a diversity of parasites, including some, like their hosts, that are marine-derived. Among the parasites of potamotrygonids, the cestode fauna is the most diverse, with multiple genera having been reported, including genera endemic to the freshwaters of the Neotropics and genera that have cosmopolitan distributions. Recent efforts have been made to document the diversity of cestodes of this host-parasite system and to refine the taxonomy of parasite line- ages. The present study contributes to our knowledge of Rhinebothrium Linton, 1890, a diverse cosmopolitan genus of rhinebothriidean cestode, with 37 species reported from marine batoids, one species from a freshwater stingray in Borneo and six species from potamo- trygonids. Rhinebothrium jaimei sp. n. is described from two species of potamotrygonids, Potamotrygon orbignyi (Castelnau) (type host) and Potamotrygon scobina Garman, from Bahía de Marajó of the lower Amazon region. It can be distinguished from most of its marine congeners via multiple attributes, including its possession of two, rather than one, posteriormost loculi on its bothridia and the lomeniform shape of its bothridium that is wider anteriorly. -

Such knowledge is useful to gain further understanding of the biology and ecology of this group of mollusks and would inform a correct management of wild cephalopod stocks for conservation and fishery purposes. In the present work, we aimed to characterize tapeworms infecting the common octopus Octopus vulgaris, one of the most widely distributed and commercially important cephalopod species, with morphological and molecular methods. Our results suggest a possible important role of O. vulgaris in the transmission of elasmobranch tapeworms and add valuable information on the host-range and distribution of the tapeworms identified. Abstract: Cephalopods are intermediate/paratenic hosts in the life cycle of elasmobranch tapeworms, nevertheless most records of infection in this group of mollusks are outdated and fragmentary. -
In South American Freshwater Stingrays (Batoidea; Potamotrygonidae)
Diversification and Species Boundaries of Rhinebothrium (Cestoda; Rhinebothriidea) in South American Freshwater Stingrays (Batoidea; Potamotrygonidae) Florian B. Reyda1,3*, Fernando P. L. Marques2 1 Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, Storrs, Conneticut, United States of America, 2 Laborato´rio de Helmintologia Evolutiva, Departamento de Zoologia, Instituto de Biocieˆncias, Universidade de Sa˜o Paulo, Sa˜o Paulo, Brazil, 3 Biology Department and Biological Field Station, State University of New York College at Oneonta, Oneonta, New York, United States of America Abstract Background: Neotropical freshwater stingrays (Batoidea: Potamotrygonidae) host a diverse parasite fauna, including cestodes. Both cestodes and their stingray hosts are marine-derived, but the taxonomy of this host/parasite system is poorly understood. Methodology: Morphological and molecular (Cytochrome oxidase I) data were used to investigate diversity in freshwater lineages of the cestode genus Rhinebothrium Linton, 1890. Results were based on a phylogenetic hypothesis for 74 COI sequences and morphological analysis of over 400 specimens. Cestodes studied were obtained from 888 individual potamotrygonids, representing 14 recognized and 18 potentially undescribed species from most river systems of South America. Results: Morphological species boundaries were based mainly on microthrix characters observed with scanning electron microscopy, and were supported by COI data. Four species were recognized, including two redescribed (Rhinebothrium copianullum and R. paratrygoni), and two newly described (R. brooksi n. sp. and R. fulbrighti n. sp.). Rhinebothrium paranaensis Menoret & Ivanov, 2009 is considered a junior synonym of R. paratrygoni because the morphological features of the two species overlap substantially. The diagnosis of Rhinebothrium Linton, 1890 is emended to accommodate the presence of marginal longitudinal septa observed in R. -
