Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the diplectanid monogenean, a common gill parasite of the gilthead seabream found in the Mediterranean Sea, aiming to understand its population structure and genetic diversity through molecular analysis.
- Researchers analyzed samples from wild and cage-reared gilthead seabream across fifteen locations in Tunisia, Italy, and Spain, revealing that there is likely just one species of the parasite widespread throughout the region, with evidence of recent population expansion.
- The study shows high haplotype diversity and significant genetic variation among the parasite populations, with notable differences between those in the Adriatic Sea and other areas, suggesting considerable gene flow due to host movement.
Serological screening of 199 serum samples from Dromedary camels-from different cities in Saudi Arabia-was performed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detecting antibodies against two cyst-forming coccidian parasites, namely Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum. Antibodies against T. gondii were detected in 68 (34.
