The new species can be distinguished from the congeneric species mainly by the arrangements of the testes, which form two longitudinal bands (other congeneric species have the testes irregularly scattered throughout the testicular region) and their number (at maximum 85 testes versus at least 160 in the other Khawia spp.), and the mor- phology of the scolex, which varies from cuneiform to widely bulbate scolex, being separated from the remaining body by a short neck and possessing a smooth, blunt or rounded anterior margin. Other typical features of K. abbottinae are its small size (total length less than 1.5 cm) and body shape, with the maximum width at its first third. The distinct status of the new species was confirmed by molecular data (ssrDNA and ITS1 sequences). Phylogenetic analyses revealed a close relationship of the new species with K. rossit- tensis (Szidat, 1937) and K. parva (Zmeev, 1936), parasites of crucian carp and goldfish (Carassius spp.), but both species markedly differ from K. abbottinae in their morphology. Until now, five valid species ofKhawia (K. abbottinae, K. japonensis, K. rossittensis, K. saurogobii and K. sinensis) have been reported from China.

ZooKeys 1055: 135–148. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.1055.70117 Abstract To investigate the genetic effects on the population of Coreius guichenoti of dam constructions in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, we analyzed the genetic diversity and population structure of 12 popula- tions collected in 2009 and 2019 using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control regions. There was no significant difference in genetic diversity between 2009 and 2019P ( > 0.05), but the population structure tended to become stronger. Genetic differentiation (FST) among five populations (LX, BB, YB, SF and JA) collected in 2009 was not significant P( > 0.05). However, some populations collected in 2019 were significantly differentiated (P < 0.05), indicating that the population structure has undergone change.

  • Genus Gobio (Pisces, Cyprinidae)
    Cytologia 38: 731-736, 1973 A Comparative Study of the Karyotype in the Genus Gobio (Pisces, Cyprinidae) P. Raicu, Elena Taisescu and P. Banarescu Department of Genetics, University of Bucharest and Department of Animal Taxonomy and Evolution, Institute of Biology, Bucharest, Rumania Received July 27, 1972 The subfamily Gobioninae (Pisces, Cyprinidae) includes 84 species represented by 20 genera, a single one of which, Gobio has a Palaearctic range, occurring through the northern part of East Asia, Siberia, Europe and parts of West and Central Asia, while the remaining genera are restricted to East Asia (Banarescu and Nal bant 1972). The genus Gobio is represented in Europe, Anatolia and the Caucas by seven species, one of which, G. gobio, has a wide Palearctic distribution, a second one, G. albipinnatus, is distributed from the Danube to Volga river, while the five other species are restricted to a single or to a few drainages. Four species live in Rumania: G. gobio is rather ubiquitous, occurring in many biotopes though it is absent from the Danube R. itself; and G. uranoscopus, G. albipinnatus and G. kessleri, occur in a peculiar biotype, although they are quite frequent in some localities specially for the two last-named ones. Considering that only a few cytogenetical studies were carried on fishes, and that there are many unsolved problems in taxonomy of the family Cyprinidae and of the Gobioninae subfamily, we considered necessary to make a comparative study on the karyotype of the Gobio species occurring in Romania. This became possible by elaborating a laboratory method for demonstrating the chromosomes in fishes (Raicu and Taisescu 1972) which gave very good results.

  • Resolving Cypriniformes Relationships Using an Anchored Enrichment Approach Carla C
    Stout et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2016) 16:244 DOI 10.1186/s12862-016-0819-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Resolving Cypriniformes relationships using an anchored enrichment approach Carla C. Stout1*†, Milton Tan1†, Alan R. Lemmon2, Emily Moriarty Lemmon3 and Jonathan W. Armbruster1 Abstract Background: Cypriniformes (minnows, carps, loaches, and suckers) is the largest group of freshwater fishes in the world (~4300 described species). Despite much attention, previous attempts to elucidate relationships using molecular and morphological characters have been incongruent. In this study we present the first phylogenomic analysis using anchored hybrid enrichment for 172 taxa to represent the order (plus three out-group taxa), which is the largest dataset for the order to date (219 loci, 315,288 bp, average locus length of 1011 bp). Results: Concatenation analysis establishes a robust tree with 97 % of nodes at 100 % bootstrap support. Species tree analysis was highly congruent with the concatenation analysis with only two major differences: monophyly of Cobitoidei and placement of Danionidae. Conclusions: Most major clades obtained in prior molecular studies were validated as monophyletic, and we provide robust resolution for the relationships among these clades for the first time. These relationships can be used as a framework for addressing a variety of evolutionary questions (e.g. phylogeography, polyploidization, diversification, trait evolution, comparative genomics) for which Cypriniformes is ideally suited.

  • An Assessment of Exotic Species in the Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserve
    AN ASSESSMENT OF EXOTIC SPECIES IN THE TONLE SAP BIOSPHERE RESERVE AND ASSOCIATED THREATS TO BIODIVERSITY A RESOURCE DOCUMENT FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF INVASIVE ALIEN SPECIES December 2006 Robert van Zalinge (compiler) This publication is a technical output of the UNDP/GEF-funded Tonle Sap Conservation Project Executive Summary Introduction This report is mainly a literature review. It attempts to put together all the available information from recent biological surveys, and environmental and resource use studies in the Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserve (TSBR) in order to assess the status of exotic species and report any information on their abundance, distribution and impact. For those exotic species found in the TSBR, it is examined whether they can be termed as being an invasive alien species (IAS). IAS are exotic species that pose a threat to native ecosystems, economies and/or human health. It is widely believed that IAS are the second most significant threat to biodiversity worldwide, following habitat destruction. In recognition of the threat posed by IAS the Convention on Biological Diversity puts forward the following strategy to all parties in Article 8h: “each contracting party shall as far as possible and as appropriate: prevent the introduction of, control, or eradicate those alien species which threaten ecosystems, habitats or species”. The National Assembly of Cambodia ratified the Convention on Biological Diversity in 1995. After reviewing the status of exotic species in the Tonle Sap from the literature, as well as the results from a survey based on questionnaires distributed among local communities, the main issues are discussed, possible strategies to combat the spread of alien species that are potentially invasive are examined, and recommendations are made to facilitate the implementation of a strategy towards reducing the impact of these species on the TSBR ecosystem.

Relationships among these lineages and the enigmatic taxa Rhodeus were not well-resolved. Tests of mono- phyly of subfamilies and previously proposed relationships were examined by constraining cytochrome b sequences data to fit previous hypotheses. The analysis of constrained trees indicated that sequence data were not consistent with most previously proposed relationships. Inconsistency was largely attributable to Asian taxa, such as Xenocypris and Xenocyprioides. Improved understanding of historical and taxonomic relationships in Cyprinidae will require further morphological and molecular studies on Asian cyprinids and taxa representative of the diversity found in Africa. 2002 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles.

Infectious Diseases of Poverty (2016) 5:71 DOI 10.1186/s40249-016-0166-1 SCOPINGREVIEW Open Access Current status and perspectives of Clonorchis sinensis and clonorchiasis: epidemiology, pathogenesis, omics, prevention and control Ze-Li Tang1,2, Yan Huang1,2 and Xin-Bing Yu1,2* Abstract Clonorchiasis, caused by Clonorchis sinensis (C. sinensis), is an important food-borne parasitic disease and one of the most common zoonoses. Currently, it is estimated that more than 200 million people are at risk of C. sinensis infection, and over 15 million are infected worldwide. C. sinensis infection is closely related to cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), fibrosis and other human hepatobiliary diseases; thus, clonorchiasis is a serious public health problem in endemic areas. This article reviews the current knowledge regarding the epidemiology, disease burden and treatment of clonorchiasis as well as summarizes the techniques for detecting C. sinensis infection in humans and intermediate hosts and vaccine development against clonorchiasis. Newer data regarding the pathogenesis of clonorchiasis and the genome, transcriptome and secretome of C. sinensis are collected, thus providing perspectives for future studies. These advances in research will aid the development of innovative strategies for the prevention and control of clonorchiasis.

Wuxi Fisheries College, Nanjing Agricultural University, Wuxi 214081, China; 2. Key Laboratory of Freshwater Fisheries and Germplasm Resources Utilization, Ministry of Agriculture, Freshwater Fisheries Research Center, Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, Wuxi 214081, China) Abstract: Myxobolus haichengensis Chen, 1958 forms numerous small plasmodia on the gill filaments of wild cyprinid Abbottina rivularis Basilewaky. The species described originally was lacking important charac- ters, which made the accurate identification difficult. Here, we supplemented its characteristics with morpho- logical and molecular data. Plasmodia of M. haichengensis are oval. Mature spores are ellipsoidal-shaped in frontal view and fusiform-shaped in lateral view, measuring (10.8±0.7) μm (10.1—11.5 μm) long, (8.1± 0.5) μm (7.5—9.0 μm) wide, and (5.7±0.4) μm (5.2—9.0 μm) thick; two unequal polar capsule are pyriform with tapering anterior, large polar capsule averaging (4.7±0.5) μm (4.8—6.7 μm) long and (2.5±0.2) μm (3.2—4.3 μm) wide; small polar capsule averaging (4.4±0.2) μm (4.1—4.8 μm) long and (2.2±0.1) μm (2.0—2.5 μm) wide; polar filaments coil with four to five turns.
