  • Characterization of Filisoma argusum n. sp. infecting the spotted scat, Scatophagus argus from the Indian coast 

    The present paper describes Filisoma argusum n. sp. an acanthocephalan parasite infecting the intestine of the spotted scat, Scatophagus argus, in the south-west coast of India.Histopathological changes at the site of parasite attachment included inflammation, hemorrhage, sloughing of epithelium, and detachment of mucosal layer of the intestine. In molecular and phylogenetic analyses, the parasite occupied an independent position within the Cavisomatidae clade with high bootstrap values. Considering the morphologic and morphometric differences with previously described species of Filisoma along with its phylogenetic positioning, the present acanthocephalan is treated as a new species and the name Filisoma argusum n. sp. is proposed
