Fourspine Stickleback

Fifteen specimens of the fourspine stickleback, Apeltes quadracus (Mitchill), caught in Salmonier Arm, near Mitchells Brook, St. Mary's Bay, Newfoundland, were examined for helminth parasites. Three species of monogenetic trematodes (Gyrodactylus avalonia Hanek and Threlfall, 1969; Gyrodactylus cameroni n. sp.; Gyrodactylus canadensis Hanek and Threlfall, 1969), one of digenetic trematodes (Podocotyle atomon (Rudolphi, 1802)), one of Cestoda (Proteocephalus sp.), and one of Nematoda (Cystidicola farionis Fischer, 1798) were recovered.

The occurrence of gastrointestinal helminth parasites in 40 Macropus agilis, 12 M. antilopinus, 39 M. dorsalis, 28 M. giganteus, 29 M. parryi, 30 M. robustus and 26 Wallabia bicolor from north and central Queensland was examined. A total of 124 morphologically defined species of helminth was encountered, comprising 103 species of strongyloid nematodes, 6 species of trichostrongyloid nematodes, 2 species of spiruroid nematodes, 4 species of oxyuroid nematodes, 7 species of anoplocephalid cestodes and 2 species of digenetic trematodes. Helminth communities in each macropodid host species exhibited a high level of diversity, and were dominated numerically by strongyloid nematodes. A high proportion of the helminth species was restricted to a single host species and there was a low level of similarity between helminth communities in different host species. Similarities that did occur were not apparently related to the phylogenetic relationships between hosts and are best explained by host switching between hosts sharing overlapping habitats and feeding preferences. There was poor separation of the helminth species into ‘core’, ‘secondary’ and ‘satellite’ members of communities.
