Tegumental topography and molecular characterisation of two trematodes (Platyhelminthes: Digenea) from (Burchell, 1822) in Kenya.

The discoveries of new taxonomic features of digenean species through the application of contemporary techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and molecular analysis are still growing. Two species of trematodes and from the intestine and vitreous humour of were recovered from Lake Ol'Bolossat, Kenya. The two endo-helminths were prepared for morphological examination using SEM and molecular characterisation.

Scanning Electron Microscopy and First Molecular Data of Two Species of (Copepoda: Lernaeidae) from (Cyprinidae) and (Clariidae) in Kenya.

A parasitological study carried out in May 2022 and March 2023 in the Nyando River of Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya, disclosed two parasitic lernaeid copepods: Humes, 1957, from the gills of a cyprinid, the Ningu Boulenger, 1901, endemic to the Lake Victoria drainage system, and Fryer, 1957, from a clariid, the North African catfish (Burchell, 1822). The copepods were studied and supplementary taxonomic information was presented using scanning electron micrographs and genetic data. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) provided information on the morphology of 's antennae, oral region, thoracic legs (2-5), and furcal rami not previously reported.
