The paper investigates parasite infections in Nile tilapia aquaculture, finding that monopisthocotylan parasites are prevalent and linked to gill lesions, while stakeholders rarely identify parasites as a health cause.

This study provides the first comprehensive survey of macroparasite communities in West African mangroves, identifies new species and host records, and establishes a baseline for future ecological monitoring.

The paper redescribes and provides the first molecular characterization of Ascarophis morrhuae, differentiates it from other North Atlantic Ascarophis species, and reviews previous records.

This study updates the distribution of Ergasilus kandti and investigates the phylogenetic relationships of African ergasilids using mitochondrial genomes and microscopy.

The paper examines how anthropogenic disturbances affect ectoparasite communities in Lake Victoria cichlids, finding reduced parasite diversity and stability.
