Kritskyia Moraveci
''Kritskyia'' is a genus of monogeneans in the family Dactylogyridae. Like other monogeneans, species of ''Kritskyia'' only have one host required to complete their life cycle. In contrast to most species of monogeneans which are parasitic on the gills or on the skin of fish, species of ''Kritskyia'' are parasitic in the urinary organs of fish. The genus was created by Anna Kohn in 1990, and the definition of the genus was emended by Boeger, Tanaka and Pavanelli in 2001. The name of the genus honours the American parasitologist Delane C. Kritsky, "for his contribution to our knowledge of Brazilian Monogenea". Species Species of ''Kritskyia'' include: *'' Kritskyia moraveci'' Kohn, 1990, a parasite of the urinary bladder and ureters of the fish ''Rhamdia quelen'' (Quoy & Gaimard, 1824) ( Pimelodidae, Siluriformes). The name of the species honours the Czech parasitologist František Moravec. *''Kritskyia annakohnae'' Boeger, Tanaka & Pavanelli, 2001, a parasite of the ...

Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the Kingdom (biology), biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals Heterotroph, consume organic material, Cellular respiration#Aerobic respiration, breathe oxygen, are Motility, able to move, can Sexual reproduction, reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of Cell (biology), cells, the blastula, during Embryogenesis, embryonic development. Over 1.5 million Extant taxon, living animal species have been Species description, described—of which around 1 million are Insecta, insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have Ecology, complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology. Most living animal species are in Bilateria, a clade whose members have a Symmetry in biology#Bilate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
