[An investigation of helminth fauna of the bleak (Alburnus alburnus L.) from the Mustafakemalpasa stream, Bursa, Turkey].

The purpose of the present study was to determine the helminth fauna of the bleak (Alburnus alburnus L.). According to the results obtained, a total of 6 species of helminth parasites were encountered on the bleak. These parasites include Dactylogyrus alatus, D. fraternus and Diplozoon homoion (Monogenea) on the gills; Bothriocephalus acheilognathi (Cestoda) and Rhapdochona denudata (Nematoda) in the intestine; and Diplostomum sp. (Digenea) in the eyes, on the surface of body and on the fins.

[The parasite fauna of Stizostedion lucioperca from the bay waters of the Baltic coast of East Germany].

In pike-perches 20 species of parasites were stated: Protozoa (1), Monogenea (1), Cestoda (2), Trematoda (8), Nematoda (3), Acanthocephala (2), Hirudinea (1) and Crustacea (2). The high extent and intensity of parasitation Bunodera luciopercae in pike-perches of the Oder Bay are striking, a fact which may inhibit their growth and development. Parasitological investigation (infestation of pike-perch with Brachyphallus crenatus and Anisakis spec. larv.) has proved that about 75% of pike-perch migrate between the areas of the Peenestrom and the Bay of Greifswald. The high extent of Achtheres percarum infestation of fish causes serious damage to the gill filaments in a number of cases. The studies carried out to date have shown that parasite infestation of pike-perch has no negative effect on its edibility.

Diversity of the parasite assemblage of Fundulus zebrinus in the Platte River of Nebraska.

Changes in the values of the Shannon H' diversity index as determined for individual hosts (infraassemblage diversity), host samples (sample assemblage diversity), and for species density are reported for an assemblage of 7 parasites in Fundulus zebrinus in the Platte River in Nebraska for a 5-yr period. The parasites were: Myxosoma funduli (gill), Trichodina sp. (gill), Gyrodactylus bulbacanthus (gill), Salsuginus sp. (gill), Gyrodactylus stableri (body surface), and Neascus sp. (= Posthodiplostomum; eyes and body cavity). In addition, relative abundance and equitability are given for each of the study years. Mean infraassemblage diversity, sample assemblage diversity, species density, and equitability were all significantly negatively correlated with river streamflow (measured in cubic feet per second) of the year prior to the sample, but were independent of the concurrent year's streamflow. Over the long term, M. funduli and Trichodina sp. were the most, and G. bulbacanthus was the least, abundant. Species pair prevalence and relative density correlations showed few long-term patterns of co-occurrence or microallopatry. The strongest association was between M. funduli and the Neascus sp. and was attributed to similarities in ecological requirements of intermediate hosts.
