Parasitic copepods are commonly known to cause serious damage to their hosts. Pandarid copepods (Siphonostomatoida) are primarily ectoparasites of sharks. Taxonomic information on pandarid copepods remains conflicting, and data on their
Copepod - Wikipedia
They attach themselves to bony fish, sharks, marine mammals, and many kinds of invertebrates such as corals, other crustaceans, molluscs, sponges, and tunicates. They also live as ectoparasites on some freshwater fish.
Occurrence and Molecular Characterization of Some Parasitic Copepods …
2022年1月27日 · The present study aimed to report the occurrence (and characterize using a molecular approach) of pandarid copepods obtained opportunistically on shark species off the coast of Sicily (Italy) and to provide newly generated molecular and phylogenetic data to improve knowledge of the poorly known Pandaridae parasites infecting sharks.
The Current State of Knowledge on Parasitic Copepods …
Parasitic copepods are commonly known to cause serious damage to their hosts. Pandarid copepods (Siphonostomatoida) are primarily ectoparasites of sharks. Taxonomic information on pandarid copepods remains conflicting, and data on their biology, ecology, and pathogenesis are …
In this study, we begin addressing this knowledge gap by exploring the molecular features of some pandarid copepods (i.e., Dinemoura latifolia, Echthrogaleus coleoptratus, Pandarus satyrus, and Phyllothyreus cornutus) and their phylogenetic relationships using new material from pelagic sharks (i.e., Prionace glauca, Isurus oxyrinchus, and Carcha...
Parasitic Copepods as Biochemical Tracers of Foraging Patterns …
2023年5月14日 · Understanding the diet of whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) is essential for the development of appropriate conservation strategies for the species. This study evaluated the use of the parasitic copepod (Pandarus rhincodonicus) as a proxy to infer short-term foraging habitats and trophic positions of whale shark hosts.

1985年3月1日 · Two white sharks (Carcharodon carcharius L.) collected in the Bay of Fundy were examined for parasitic copepods. Three species were recovered: Anthosoma crassum, Dinemoura latifolia, and...
Symbiotic Siphonostomatoida (Copepoda) of the hammerhead shark …
2021年10月6日 · Twenty smooth hammerhead sharks, Sphyrna zygaena, and one common stingray, Dasyatis pastinaca, were inspected for symbionts on their body surface. Symbiotic siphonostomatoids were collected from 18 S. zygaena hosts and represent two different species, i.e., Alebion crassus (Caligidae) and Pandarus cranchii (Pandaridae).
