Abstract

ORIG EN

V originále

Results of ongoing project of MJ focused on influence of water alkality on distribution of fish parasites were briefly presented. During the first sampling in 2008, a total of 359 fishes representing 30 species, 25 genera and 18 families were examined. All groups of metazoan parasitic organisms (incl. Myxozoa) were detected and sampled for various structural and molecular analyses during complex parasitological examinations.

Results of ongoing project of MJ focused on influence of water alkality on distribution of fish parasites were briefly presented. During the first sampling in 2008, a total of 359 fishes representing 30 species, 25 genera and 18 families were examined. All groups of metazoan parasitic organisms (incl. Myxozoa) were detected and sampled for various structural and molecular analyses during complex parasitological examinations. Among taxonomical analyses made so far, the most interesting findings are numerous new myxosporean and helminth taxa, including two new species of large macroscopic philometrids, erection of new philometrid genus and description of new species of the nematode genus Mexiconema known previously only from disjunct members from Oriental and Nearctic realms. Apart from ongoing taxonomical work(s) and starting phylogenetic analyses, next two sampling trips in 2009 and 2010, will be followed by complex analyses of various levels of parasite communities.
