Pathology associated with Tripaphylus Richiardi, 1878 infection (Copepoda: Sphyriidae) in wild-caught Australian blackspot sharks, Carcharhinus coatesi (Whitley, 1939), off northern Australia

Female specimens of the newly described mesoparasitic copepod Tripaphylus squidwardi (Sphyriidae), collected from the Australian blackspot shark, Carcharhinus coatesi, off northern Australia were examined histologically. The ‘encapsulated’ head of the copepod was found in the ventral musculature of...

description Female specimens of the newly described mesoparasitic copepod Tripaphylus squidwardi (Sphyriidae), collected from the Australian blackspot shark, Carcharhinus coatesi, off northern Australia were examined histologically. The ‘encapsulated’ head of the copepod was found in the ventral musculature of the throat of the shark. The head of the copepod was surrounded by a tissue capsule of unknown origin. There were signs of chronic inflammation associated with the infection, although there appeared to be no effect on the health of the shark.
