| dc.description.abstract | Monogenean parasites belonging to Quadriacanthus have never been reported from Clarias ngamensis, but are commonly found on congeners. In view of the specificity of monogeneans, the genetic proximity and the co-occurrence of C. ngamensis and C. gariepinus in Africa, it is hypothesised that a parasitological survey of C. ngamensis will yield several species of Quadriacanthus as its congeneric host C. gariepinus harbours these parasites. The present study aims to explore the monogenean parasites from the gills of C. ngamensis in the Upper Congo Basin by (i) inventorying their diversity and providing their morphological characterisation, and (ii) analysing their infection parameters. Monogeneans were isolated from the gills, and identified based on morphological analysis of genital and haptoral sclerotized parts. Seven parasite species belonging to Quadriacanthus were found. Among them, two species, Q. aegypticus and Q. allobychowskiella, are both newly reported in the Upper Congo Basin and newly recorded on C. ngamensis. Quadriacanthus amakaliae sp. nov., Q. halajiani sp. nov., Q. domatanai sp. nov., Q. lubandaensis sp. nov., and Q. curvicirrus sp. nov. are new to science and described herein. The most prevalent parasite species was Q. curvicirrus sp. nov. in the Luapula River (prevalence = 66.7%) with mean infection intensity of 6.3 +/- 5.8. Quadriacanthus allobychowskiella and Q. aegypticus are known parasites from C. gariepinus and their presence on C. ngamensis is probably the result of lateral transfers. The discovery of five new species from C. ngamensis highlights the parasite diversity still to be explored in the region. | - |
| dc.description.sponsorship | The Université de Lubumbashi is thanked through the Faculty of Agronomic sciences (for facilitating and authorising sampling) and the local team of the Laboratory BEZHU (Unité de Recherche en Biodiversité et Exploitation durable des Zones Humides), Anicet Doma Tana, Clément Kalombo Kabalika and Christian Mukweze Mulelenu for their help in fish sampling. The University of Yaoundé 1 (Cameroon) is also thanked through the Faculty of Sciences, Laboratory of Parasitology and Ecology (Etienne Bassock and Jonathan Mbondo) for hosting and helping Gyrhaiss K. Kasembele in the lab for parasite identification and drawing during his research visit. The authors dedicate this study to our colleagues (i) the late Auguste Chocha Manda (DR Congo) (1 November, 1967 to 7 November, 2023), full professor at the Faculté des Sciences Agronomiques of the Université de Lubumbashi, director of its École de Pêche et Aquaculture, and head of its Unité de Recherche en Biodiversité et Exploitation durable des Zones Humides. We want to honor his contributions to research and teaching in African ichthyology, ichthyoparasitology, and aquaculture. His efforts for Congolese, Belgian, and other students have been admirable. He will be sorely missed as a friend; (ii) the late Charles Felix Bilong Bilong (Cameroon) (31 May, 1958 to 21 February, 2024), professor at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Yaoundé 1, head of the Department of Animal Biology and Physiology, responsible for the laboratory of Parasitology and Ecology. We want to honor his contributions to research and teaching in African parasitology. The network underlying this study arose thanks to funding from VLIR-UOS, namely the Short Training Initiative “Building an African network for sustainable management of aquatic biological resources supported by genetics and parasitology” (NKOI2016PR008) and 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” (ZRDC2014MP084), and from the framework agreements of the Belgian Development Cooperation with the Royal Museum for Central Africa (Mbisa Congo project 2013–2018) and the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (Capacities for Biodiversity and Sustainable Development program). This research was also supported by VLIR-UOS (IUC-UNILU, CD2021IUC04A104 and Global Minds). Maarten P.M. Vanhove is financed by the Special Research Fund of Hasselt University (BOF20TT06). Maarten P.M. Vanhove’s participation to XVISFB was supported by travel grant K1A9423N of the Research Foundation-Flanders (FWO-Vlaanderen). Wilmien J. Luus-Powell and Willem J. Smit were supported by the Department of Science and Innovation and the National Research Foundation of South Africa (Grant Number 101054). The authors, therefore, gratefully acknowledge Antoine Pariselle, Filip A.M. Volckaert, Ouafae Berrada Rkhami, Abdelaziz Benhoussa, Tine Huyse, Isaure de Buron-Connors, Valentin N’Douba, Arnold R. Bitja Nyom, Jos Snoeks, Emmanuel J. Vreven, Virginie Bito, and Luc Janssens de Bisthoven, senior scientists in the aforementioned projects. | - |
