Description (based on 16 individuals): adults 480 (378���591) (16) long. 89 (70���109) (16) large at level of penis. Large and globular pharynx: 52 (41���64) (16) in diameter. Dorsal anchor with guard longer than shaft, and regularly curved blade: a = 31 (29���35) (25), b = 24 (20���27) (25), c = 8 (6���10) (24), d = 11 (8���14) (25), e = 9 (7���11) (25). Dorsal transverse bar typical of Scutogyrus with long auricle and lateral expansions: x = 46 (42���49) (16), z = 26 (22���31) (16), w = 4 (4���6) (16), y = 14 (11���16) (16), h = 31 (25���35) (16). Ventral anchor with guard two times longer than shaft, blade regularly arched: a = 31 (29���32) (27), b = 28 (26���30) (27), c = 5 (3���7) (27), d = 10 (8���12) (27), e = 11 (9���14) (27). V���shaped ventral transverse bar typical of Scutogyrus (supporting a large plate), branches straight: x = 39 �� 1.4 (36���41) (30), w = 30 (23���37) (16). First uncinuli of small size, third to seventh long: U I = 16 (15���18) (16), U II = 12 (10���13) (9), U III = 28 (24���30) (11), U IV = 31 (27���33) (14), U V = 32 (27���36) (16), U VI = 27 (25���32) (11), U VII = 27 (26���28) (13).

BACKGROUND: Lake Tana is the largest lake in Ethiopia and the source of the Blue Nile. The lake harbours unique endemic cyprinid fish species, as well as the commercially important endemic Nile tilapia subspecies Oreochromis niloticus tana and the North African catfish Clarias gariepinus. Its endemicity, especially within the Labeobarbus radiation, its conservation importance and its economic indispensability attract scientific interest to the lake's ichthyofauna. Fish parasites of Lake Tana, however, are hitherto poorly known, and no formal report exists on its monogenean flatworms. For sustainable aquaculture and fisheries development, it is essential to study monogenean fish parasites in these economically most important fish species. Moreover, it remains to be verified whether this unique ecosystem and its endemicity gave rise to a distinct parasite fauna as well. RESULTS: Nile tilapia and North African catfish hosts were collected from Lake Tana in 2013. Nine species of monogenean parasites of two orders, Gyrodactylidea Bychowsky, 1937 and Dactylogyridea Bychowsky, 1937, were recovered. Gyrodactylus gelnari Přikrylová, Blažek & Vanhove, 2012, Macrogyrodactylus clarii Gussev, 1961, Quadriacanthus aegypticus El-Naggar & Serag, 1986 and two undescribed Quadriacanthus species were recovered from C. gariepinus. Oreochromis niloticus tana hosted Cichlidogyrus cirratus Paperna, 1964, C. halli (Price & Kirk, 1967), C. thurstonae Ergens, 1981 and Scutogyrus longicornis (Paperna & Thurston, 1969). CONCLUSIONS: Except for M. clarii, all species represent new records for Ethiopia. This first study on the monogenean fauna of Lake Tana revealed that the lake's North African catfish, as well as its endemic Nile tilapia subspecies, harbour parasites that are known from these host species elsewhere in Africa. ispartof: Parasites & Vectors vol:9 issue:1 ispartof: location:England status: published
