Host specificity is linked to intraspecific variability in the genus Lamellodiscus (Monogenea).

Parasitology - 1 Apr 2008

Kaci-Chaouch T, Verneau O, Desdevises Y

Abstract excerpt

SUMMARYWe investigated whether host specificity is linked to variability within species of Lamellodiscus monogeneans, which are gill ectoparasites of the Sparidae. We sampled fish parasites in the northeastern part of the Mediterranean Sea: 4 specialist species, using 1 single host species, and 3 generalist species, using 2 distinct host species. Intraspecific variability was assessed from 2 different datasets....
