Rhabdosynochus Explained

Rhabdosynochus is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, belonging to the family Diplectanidae.[1] [2]

The type-species of the genus, Rhabdosynochus rhabdosynochus Mizelle & Blatz, 1941, was initially described as a member of the sub-family Tetraonchinae.[1] The genus was then transferred to the Diplectaninae by Hargis,[3] then to the Ancyrocephalinae by Bychowsky (1957),[4] and finally to the Diplectanidae by Yamaguti (1963).[5] Oliver (1987) confirmed its position within the family Diplectanidae.[6]

Transcriptome

The transcriptome of Rhabdosynochus viridisi has been studied in 2022, and G-Protein-Coupled-Receptors (GPCRs) were described in detail in this species, together with those of another monogenean, Scutogyrus longicornis.[11] These were the first two transcriptomes released for monogeneans of the subclass Monopisthocotylea.[11]
