Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogeny of the Myxobolus and Henneguya genera with several new South American species
Mateus M. Carriero,Edson A. Adriano,Edson A. Adriano,Marcia R.M. Silva,Paulo S. Ceccarelli,Antônio Augusto Mendes Maia +5 more
TL;DR: Maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony analyses, based on 18 S rDNA gene sequences, showed that the strongest evolutionary signal is the phylogenetic affinity of the fish hosts, with clustering mainly occurring according to the order and/or family of the host.
Journal ArticleDOI
Henneguya pseudoplatystoma n. sp. causing reduction in epithelial area of gills in the farmed pintado, a South American catfish: Histopathology and ultrastructure
Juliana Naldoni,Sarah Arana,Antônio Augusto Mendes Maia,Paulo S. Ceccarelli,Luiz E. R. Tavares,Fernando de Almeida Borges,C.F. Pozo,Edson A. Adriano +7 more
TL;DR: A new Myxosporea species (Henneguya pseudoplatystoma) is described causing an important reduction in gill function in the farmed pintado, which is a commercially important South American catfish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myxobolus cordeiroi n. sp., a parasite of Zungaro jahu (Siluriformes: Pimelodiade) from Brazilian Pantanal: morphology, phylogeny and histopathology.
Edson A. Adriano,Sarah Arana,Ana Liz Garcia Alves,Marcia R.M. Silva,Paulo S. Ceccarelli,Flávio Henrique-Silva,Antônio Augusto Mendes Maia +6 more
TL;DR: A new Myxosporea species (Myxobolus cordeiroi) is described infecting the jaú catfish, and the histological analysis revealed the parasite in the connective tissue of the different infected sites, thereby exhibiting affinity to this tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic and host–parasite relationship analysis of Henneguya multiplasmodialis n. sp. infecting Pseudoplatystoma spp. in Brazilian Pantanal wetland☆
Edson A. Adriano,Mateus M. Carriero,Antônio Augusto Mendes Maia,Marcia R.M. Silva,Juliana Naldoni,Paulo S. Ceccarelli,Sarah Arana +6 more
TL;DR: Phylogeny revealed a strong tendency among Henneguya species to form clades based on the order and/or family of the host fish, and the wall of the plasmodia of H. multiplasmodialis n.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host-parasite-environment relationship, morphology and molecular analyses of Henneguya eirasi n. sp. parasite of two wild Pseudoplatystoma spp. in Pantanal Wetland, Brazil.
Juliana Naldoni,Sarah Arana,Antônio Augusto Mendes Maia,Marcia R.M. Silva,Mateus M. Carriero,Paulo S. Ceccarelli,Luiz E. R. Tavares,Edson A. Adriano +7 more
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis revealed the Henneguya species clustering into clades following the order and family of the host fishes, which clustered alone in one clade, which was the basal unit for the clade composed of HenneGuya species parasites of siluriform ictalurids.
