Echinoplectanum
''Echinoplectanum'' is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans in the family Diplectanidae. All its species are parasites on the gills of fish; hosts recorded to date are all groupers (Family Serranidae), including coralgroupers (genus ''Plectropomus'') and the Dusky grouper (''Epinephelus marginatus'').

Echinoplectanum Pudicum
''Echinoplectanum pudicum'' is a species of diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of the leopard coralgrouper, ''Plectropomus leopardus''. It has been described in 2006. This species was distinguished from all other species of the genus ''Echinoplectanum'' by the shape and small size of its male copulatory organ, and the apparent absence of a sclerotised vagina. Etymology The epithet ''pudicum'' (Latin for bashful, chaste) refers to the low level of development of the reproductive organs. Hosts and localities The leopard coral grouper ''Plectropomus leopardus'' is the type-host of ''Echinoplectanum pudicum''. The type-locality is the coral reef off Nouméa, New Caledonia. In New Caledonia, this fish harbours three species of the genus ''Echinoplectanum ''Echinoplectanum'' is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans in the family Diplectanidae.

Echinoplectanum Rarum
''Echinoplectanum rarum'' is a species of diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of the leopard coralgrouper, ''Plectropomus leopardus''. It has been described in 2006. This species is very rare and represented only 2% of the specimens of ''Echinoplectanum'' spp. found in ''P. leopardus''. This species was distinguished from other species of the same genus by its characteristic ring-shaped sclerotised vagina. Etymology The epithet ''rarum'' is Latin for rare.

Echinoplectanum Laeve
''Echinoplectanum laeve'' is a species of diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of the black-saddled coralgrouper, ''Plectropomus laevis''. It has been described in 2006. ''E. laeve'' is the type-species of the genus ''Echinoplectanum''. Etymology ''Echinoplectanum laeve'' was named for the species of its type-host, ''Plectropomus laevis''. Justine & Euzet also indicated that “the epithet ''laeve'' (Latin for smooth) was not inappropriate for a diplectanid without tegumental body scales”. Hosts and localities The black-saddled coral grouper ''Plectropomus laevis'' is the type-host of ''Echinoplectanum laeve''.

''Echinoplectanum leopardi'' is a species of diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of the leopard coralgrouper, ''Plectropomus leopardus''. It has been described in 2006. Etymology The specific epithet ''leopardi'' is the genitive form of ''leopardus'' and relates to the type-host. Hosts and localities The leopard coral grouper ''Plectropomus leopardus'' is the type-host of ''Echinoplectanum leopardi''. The type-locality is the coral reef off Nouméa, New Caledonia.

Echinoplectanum Chauvetorum
''Echinoplectanum chauvetorum'' is a species of diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of the black-saddled coralgrouper, ''Plectropomus laevis''. It has been described in 2006. Etymology Justine & Euzet wrote that the species was named “for Professor Claude Chauvet, a specialist of grouper biology, and his wife Gisèle Chauvet, who kindly provided, among many other fish, several of the fish hosts used in this study”. Hosts and localities The black-saddled coral grouper ''Plectropomus laevis'' is the type-host of ''Echinoplectanum chauvetorum''.

Monogenea
Monogeneans are a group of ectoparasitic flatworms commonly found on the skin, gills, or fins of fish. They have a direct lifecycle and do not require an intermediate host. Adults are hermaphrodites, meaning they have both male and female reproductive structures.L.A. Tubbsa et al. (2005). "Effects of temperature on fecundity in vitro, egg hatching and reproductive development of ''Benedenia seriolae'' and ''Zeuxapta seriolae'' (Monogenea) parasitic on yellowtail kingfish Seriola lalandi". ''International Journal for Parasitology''(35), 315–327. Some monogeneans are oviparous (egg-laying) and some are viviparous (live-bearing). Oviparous varieties release eggs into the water. Viviparous varieties release larvae, which immediately attach to another host. The genus ''Gyrodactylus'' is an example of a viviparous variety, while the genus ''Dactylogyrus'' is an example of an oviparous variety.

Diplectanidae
The Diplectanidae are a family of monopisthocotylean monogeneans. They are all parasitic on the gills of fish (marine or freshwater). Diplectanids are small animals, generally around 1 mm in length. As parasites, they can be extremely numerous, up to several thousand on an individual fish. History The family Diplectanidae was proposed by the Italian parasitologist Monticelli in 1903 (as subfamily Diplectaninae). The status of the family and its components was later examined by various authors, including Johnston & Tiegs (1922), Price (1937),Price, E. W. 1937: North American Monogenetic Trematodes. I. The superfamily Gyrodactyloidea ''Journal of the Washington Academy of Sciences'' 27, 146-164PDF Bychowsky (1957), Yamaguti (1963), and Oliver (1987). Morphology Diplectanids are diagnosed by the combination of these three characters: * Presence of accessory adhesive organs on dorsal and ventral part of the haptor, called squamodiscs when they are made up of rodlets and lame ...
