Monogenea |
-fish parasites, not in humans --every body part has a different kind -mostly ectoparasites -haptor:posterior large muscular structure with spokes to stick onto surface of fish -haptor irritates skin, fish produces mucous, feeds off mucous -Feeding Stations: smaller fish eating parasites off larger fish -Subclasses: Monopisthocotylea and Polypisthocotylea |
|
Monopisthocotylea |
Monogenea subtype -Single posterior haptor -Ectoparasites only -Direct Lifecycle (No mollusk intermediate) -Species in fish gills survive more -> trending towards endoparasites |
|
Polypisthocotylea |
Monogenea subtype -Complex of multiple haptors that twist and tear flesh aggressively == more mucous -Species that live on wall of frog urinary bladder, -->eggs washed out with urine, hatch onchomiracidium -->onchomiracidium are livae with hooks and cilia to swim -->crawls into urinary bladder of frog/tadpole and matures ==>becoming ectoparasite |
|
Aspidobothrea |
