During surveys of the biodiversity of fish parasites in the Okavango River and Delta, Botswana, specimens of Lamproglena von Nordmann, 1832 were found associated with the African pike Hepsetus odoe (Bloch). This Lamproglena species distinctly differs from all known species based on morphological features, in particular the cephalothorax and the maxilliped; it is described as L. hepseti n. sp. and is specific to its host, the African pike.
A parasitological study carried out in May 2022 and March 2023 in the Nyando River of Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya, disclosed two parasitic lernaeid copepods: Lamproglena cleopatra Humes, 1957, from the gills of a cyprinid, the Ningu Labeo victorianus Boulenger, 1901, endemic to the Lake Victoria drainage system, and Lamproglena clariae Fryer, 1957, from a clariid, the North African catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822). The copepods were studied and supplementary taxonomic information was presented using scanning electron micrographs and genetic data. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) provided information on the morphology of L. cleopatra’s antennae, oral region, thoracic legs (2–5), and furcal rami not previously reported. Analyses of the partial fragments of 18S and 28S rDNA and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) of the two parasites showed them to be distinct from all other Lamproglena taxa retrieved from GenBank. This study presents new taxonomic information on morpholo...

Expanded description of Lamproglena monodi (Copepoda: Lernaeidae), parasitizing native and introduced fishes in Brazil2012 •
An occurrence of the copepod Lamproglena monodi Capart, 1944, parasitizing freshwater fishes in Brazil is presented, along with new morphological data. This crustacean was originally described parasitizing several cichlids in Africa. In the present study, the crustaceans were collected from the body surface and gills of two fish species native to Brazil [Astronotus ocellatus (Agassiz, 1831) and Cichla ocellaris Bloch and Schneider, 1801] and two introduced species [Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Tilapia rendalli (Boulenger, 1897)]. The Brazilian specimens exhibited some morphometric intraspecies differences in relation to the specimens from Congo-Kinshasa and Egypt.

Abstract This study describes the distribution and aspects of the ecology of Lamproglena hoi. Bushveld smallscale yellowfish, Labeobarbus polylepis (Boulenger, 1907) were collected during June 2006 from the Phongolo and Assegaai rivers, March 2005 and October 2006 from the Elands River, and January 2007 and June 2008 from the Komati River in Mpumalanga, South Africa and examined for the presence of parasites. Lamproglena hoi specimens were collected from the gill filaments of the host.

A new record of Lamproglenine copepods, Lamproglena pulchella were collected from the gills of cyprinid freshwater fish Leuciscus vorax from the Tigris River, Iraq in order to investigate the morphological and functional characteristics of their appendages using scanning electron microscope. A maxilliped appears robust, and bears at its apex two subequal curving, claw-like spines. First legs were with a small protuberance on medial margin of the sympod near the base; endopod apparently unsegmented, exopod indistinctly two-segmented, with several setae on lateral margin and single stout seta on apex. Second legs have two segmented rami; endopod unarmed and exopod with single seta on lateral margin of basal segment and three setae at apex. Third and fourth pairs of appendages were similar, with alike rami and with only two setae at the apex of exopod. These appendages are thought to serve as a holdfast for attachment on the gill filament of the tigris fish. Cuticular differentiations ...

We investigated parasitic copepods from fishes in Burkina Faso in order to evaluate new trend in the geographical distribution of fish parasites. From all the parasites that were present in the fishes we investigated, we have found three species groups of copepods, each belonging to a distinct genus: Dysphorus torquatus, Lernaeogiraffa heterotidicola, parasites of Heterotis niloticus (Osteoglossidae) and Lamproglena monodi, parasite of Oreochromis niloticus (Cichlidae). Although most of the copepods appear to be tolerated by their hosts, these species pose a threat to fish farms. Their location preference on the gill arch bone and gill filaments causes these parasites to be of great interest with regard to mechanical damage and the negative physiological consequences they inflict. It is arguable that the parasite copepods collected and studied are potential pathogens as shown by their high intensity of development and their large size.
