(7.) Tombi J, Nack J, Bilong CF (2010) Spatial distribution of Monogenean and Myxosporidian
gill parasites of Barbus martorelli Roman, 1971 (Teleostei: Cyprinid): The role of intrinsic factors.
Our main objective was to quantify differences in the prevalence (percent fish infested) and mean intensity (average number of parasites per infested fish) of
gill parasites infesting the northern and southern rock soles (see Margolis et al., 1982; Bush et al., 1997, for complete definitions of ecological terms in parasitology).
This observation was also made with Birgiellus kellensis and Quadriacanthus sp,
gill parasites of Clarias camerounensis [17].
For electron microscopy technique, the monogenean
gill parasites were washed several times with distilled water, then fixed for about 1/2 h at 4[degrees]C in 1% osmium tetroxide in 0.1% sodium cacodylate-HCI.
Dactylogyrids are
gill parasites while gyrodactylids live on skin and fins.
