Rasheedia
''Rasheedia'' is a genus of nematodes in the order Spirurida. The nematode genus ''Bulbocephalus'' Rasheed, 1966 was found to be a homonym of ''Bulbocephalus'' Watson, 1916 (Apicomplexa, Stylocephalidae) and, therefore, a new name, ''Rasheedia'' n. nom., was proposed in 2018 to substitute it. The genus was named in honour of Suraiya Rasheed, "a well-known Pakistani fish parasitologist who was the first to describe these interesting nematodes". Species of ''Rasheedia'' are parasite of fish and include: * '' Rasheedia deblocki'' (Le-Van-Hoa, Pham-Ngoc-Khue & Nguyen-Thi-Lien, 1972) Moravec & Justine, 2018 * ''Rasheedia heptacanthi'' Moravec & Justine, 2018, a parasite of the Cinnabar goatfish ''Parupeneus heptacanthus'' ( Mullidae) and '' Dentex fourmanoiri'' (Sparidae) * '' Rasheedia inglisi'' (Rasheed, 1966) Moravec & Justine, 2018 * ''Rasheedia novaecaledoniensis'' Moravec & Justine, 2018, a parasite of the Indian goatfish ''Parupeneus indicus ''Parupeneus'' is a ...

František Moravec (parasitologist)
František Moravec (born 1 January 1939) is a Czech parasitologist who specialises on the Nematodes, especially the nematodes fish parasites, parasites of fishes. His research is mainly in the field of taxonomy (biology), taxonomy of the Nematoda. Education and career Moravec was born on 1 January 1939 in Velká Bystřice. He was in high school in Olomouc then was a student in the Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic (at that time Czechoslovakia). For his Masters in 1962, he studied the parasitic worms of reptiles of Czechoslovakia. After graduation, he worked at the Institute of Parasitology of the Czech Academy of Sciences in České Budějovice, and in 1970 completed his thesis on nematodes parasites in fish. He is a world authority on Nematodes, especially their systematics and biology. Research Among the most important works by Moravec, Tomáš Scholz mentions his revision of the genera ''Rhabdochona'' and ''Anguillicola'', and also his clarification of the family Capi ...

Spirurida
Spirurida is an order of spirurian nematodes. Like all nematodes, they have neither a circulatory nor a respiratory system. Some Spirurida, like the genus ''Gongylonema'', can cause disease in humans. One such disease is a skin infection with Spirurida larvae, called "creeping disease". Some species are known as eyeworms and infect the orbital cavity of animal hosts. Systematics The Camallanida are sometimes included herein as a suborder, and the Drilonematida are sometimes placed here as a superfamily. There are doubts about the internal systematics of the Spirurida, and some groups placed herein might belong to other spirurian or even secernentean lineages.ToL (2002) The following superfamilies are at least provisionally placed in the Spirurida: * Acuarioidea * Aproctoidea * Diplotriaenoidea * Filarioidea * Gnathostomatoidea * Habronematoidea * Physalopteroidea * Rictularioidea * Spiruroidea * Thelazioidea Thelazioidea is a superfamily of spirurian nematodes in th ...

Sparidae
The Sparidae are a family of fish in the order Perciformes, commonly called sea breams and porgies. The sheepshead, scup, and red seabream are species in this family. Most sparids are deep-bodied compressed fish with a small mouth separated by a broad space from the eye, a single dorsal fin with strong spines and soft rays, a short anal fin, long pointed pectoral fins and rather large firmly attached scales. They are found in shallow temperate and tropical waters and are bottom-dwelling carnivores. There are hermaphrodites in the Sparidae. Protogyny and protandry appear sporadically through this lineage of fish. Simultaneous hermaphrodites and bi-directional hermaphrodites do not appear as much since Sparidae are found in shallower waters. Species of fish that express a hermaphroditic condition usually "lack a genetic hardwire", therefore ecological factors play a role in sex determination. Most species possess grinding, molar-like teeth. Eating the head is known to cause hallu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
