Estimates of life-history and growth parameters of exploited fish species in lakes Edward and George: Implications on exploitation status, population dynamics, management, and conservation of native species
Musinguzi L, Kamya A, Nsega M, Natugonza V, Okello W, Snoeks J, et al.
J Fish Biol . 2024 Oct; 106(2):201-215. PMID: 39350648
Adequate knowledge is essential for responsible inland fisheries. However, many inland fisheries lack monitoring, and therefore, decision-making for fisheries management is not reliable. In this paper, we used data from...

Quadriacanthus (Monogenea, Dactylogyridae) from Catfishes in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: Description of a New Species from Heterobranchus longifilis (Teleostei, Clariidae)
Mushagalusa Mulega A, Rahmouni I, Kmentova N, Kasembele G, Masilya P, Benhoussa A, et al.
Acta Parasitol . 2024 Aug; 69(3):1530-1537. PMID: 39164541
Purpose: Studies on monogeneans parasitizing representatives of Siluriformes in Africa remain scarce and fragmentary. In order to contribute to fill this gap, we screened Heterobranchus longifilis from the Lindi River...

Barcoding and traditional health practitioner perspectives are informative to monitor and conserve frogs and reptiles traded for traditional medicine in urban South Africa
Phaka F, Netherlands E, Van Steenberge M, Verheyen E, Sonet G, Huge J, et al.
Mol Ecol Resour . 2023 Oct; 25(2):e13873. PMID: 37843476
Previous literature suggests that Indigenous cultural practices, specifically traditional medicine, are commonplace among urban communities contrary to the general conception that such practices are restricted to rural societies. We reviewed...

Sharing is caring? Barcoding suggests co-introduction of dactylogyrid monogeneans with Nile tilapia and transfer towards native tilapias in sub-Saharan Africa
Geraerts M, Huyse T, Barson M, Bassirou H, Bilong Bilong C, Bitja Nyom A, et al.
Int J Parasitol . 2023 Jul; 53(13):711-730. PMID: 37414208
Invasive Nile tilapias negatively impact native tilapia species through hybridisation and competition. However, the co-introduction of parasites with Nile tilapia, and subsequent changes in parasite communities, are scarcely documented. Monogeneans...

Monogeneans from Catfishes in Lake Tanganyika. II: New Infection Site, New Record, and Additional Details on the Morphology of the Male Copulatory Organ of Prudhoe and Hussey, 1977
Mushagalusa Mulega A, Van Steenberge M, Kmentova N, Bukinga F, Rahmouni I, Masilya P, et al.
Pathogens . 2023 Feb; 12(2). PMID: 36839471
The ichthyofauna of Lake Tanganyika consists of 12 families of fish of which five belong to Siluriformes (catfishes). Studies on Siluriformes and their parasites in this lake are very fragmentary....

Co-introduction of Dolicirroplectanum lacustre, a monogenean gill parasite of the invasive Nile perch Lates niloticus: intraspecific diversification and mitonuclear discordance in native versus introduced areas
Thys K, Vanhove M, Custers J, Vranken N, Van Steenberge M, Kmentova N
Int J Parasitol . 2022 Oct; 52(12):775-786. PMID: 36228748
The Nile perch (Lates niloticus) is a notorious invasive species. The introductions of Nile perch into several lakes and rivers in the Lake Victoria region led to the impoverishment of...

Explosive networking: The role of adaptive host radiations and ecological opportunity in a species-rich host-parasite assembly
Cruz-Laufer A, Artois T, Koblmuller S, Pariselle A, Smeets K, Van Steenberge M, et al.
Ecol Lett . 2022 Jun; 25(8):1795-1812. PMID: 35726545
Many species-rich ecological communities emerge from adaptive radiation events. Yet the effects of adaptive radiation on community assembly remain poorly understood. Here, we explore the well-documented radiations of African cichlid...

Somewhere I belong: phylogeny and morphological evolution in a species-rich lineage of ectoparasitic flatworms infecting cichlid fishes
Cruz-Laufer A, Pariselle A, Jorissen M, Bukinga F, Al Assadi A, Van Steenberge M, et al.
Cladistics . 2022 Apr; 38(4):465-512. PMID: 35488795
A substantial portion of biodiversity has evolved through adaptive radiation. However, the effects of explosive speciation on species interactions remain poorly understood. Metazoan parasites infecting radiating host lineages could improve...

Population genomics of introduced Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: Repeated introductions since colonial times with multiple sources
Geraerts M, Vangestel C, Artois T, Fernandes J, Jorissen M, Chocha Manda A, et al.
Mol Ecol . 2022 Apr; 31(12):3304-3322. PMID: 35460297
During colonial times, Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758) was introduced into non-native parts of the Congo Basin (Democratic Republic of the Congo, DRC) for the first time. Currently, it...

African lates perches (Teleostei, Latidae, Lates): Paraphyly of Nile perch and recent colonization of Lake Tanganyika
Koblmuller S, Schoggl C, Lorber C, Van Steenberge M, Kmentova N, Vanhove M, et al.
Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2021 Mar; 160:107141. PMID: 33711447
Lates perches of the genus Lates (Latidae) are large piscivorous fishes, with a strikingly disjunct distribution range in coastal areas and estuaries of the Indo-Pacific region and in some large...
