dc.description.abstractBackground Monogenean parasites have never been formally reported on fishes from the Lufira River Basin. In this context, we decided to record the monogenean parasite fauna of three cichlid species found in the Upper Lufira River Basin for the first time by inventorizing their diversity (species composition) and analysing their infection parameters (prevalence, mean intensity and abundance). Methods The African cichlid fishes Oreochromis mweruensis, Coptodon rendalli and Serranochromis macrocephalus were selected for the study, given their economic value and their abundance in the Upper Lufira River Basin. Monogeneans were isolated from the gills and stomach, mounted on glass slides with either Hoyer’s medium or ammonium picrate-glycerin for identification under a stereomicroscope, based on morphological analysis of genital and haptoral hard parts. Indices of diversity and infections parameters were calculated. Results A total of 13 gill monogenean parasite species (Cichlidogyrus dossoui, C. halli, C. karibae, C. mbirizei, C. papernastrema, C. quaestio, C. sclerosus, C. tiberianus, C. tilapiae, C. zambezensis, Scutogyrus gravivaginus, S. cf. bailloni and Gyrodactylus nyanzae) and one stomach monogenean (Enterogyrus malmbergi) were identified. A species richness (S) of 10 for O. mweruensis, S = 6 for C. rendalli and S = 2 for S. macrocephalus was recorded. Five parasite species were reported to be common amongst O. mweruensis and C. rendalli. According to cichlid species, the most prevalent parasite species was C. halli (prevalence [P] = 80.9%) on O. mweruensis, C. dossoui (P = 92.9%) on C. rendalli and C. karibae-
dc.description.sponsorshipFunding This research was carried out with the funding support of a VLIR-UOS South Initiative (ZRDC2014MP084). At the time of conducting this investigation, MPM Vanhove was supported by the Belgian Directorate-General for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid (CEBioS program: Capacities for Biodiversity and Sustainable Development), the Belgian Federal Science Policy Office (BR/132/PI/TILAPIA), the Research Foundation—Flanders (FWOVlaanderen) (K220314N) and currently by the Special Research Fund of Hasselt University (BOF20TT06). The South African team was supported by the South African Research Chairs Initiative of the Department of Science and Innovation and National Research Foundation of South Africa (Grant No. 101054). Acknowledgements VLIR-UOS is thanked for supporting this study through the South Initiative “Renforcement des capacités locales pour une meilleure évaluation biologique des impacts miniers au Katanga (RD Congo) sur les poissons et leurs milieux aquatiques”. Each member of the local team of the University of Lubumbashi (BEZHU), namely C. Kalombo Kabalika, P. Kiwele Mutambala, B. Katemo Manda, M. Kasongo Ilunga Kayaba and C. Mukweze Mulelenu, is thanked for the help in fish sampling. Members of the international team are thanked; namely I. Přikrylová (University of Limpopo) for her contribution in confirmation of parasite identification; N. Kmentová (Hasselt University) for help with imaging and F.A.M. Volckaert (KU Leuven) and L. Janssens de Bisthoven (Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences) for hosting G.K. Kasembele in their teams during his respective research visits to Belgium. Finally, we thank the Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature (ICCN) for facilitating and authorizing sampling (Attestations de Recherche 205/2016; 006/2017).-
