Cystidicola is a genus of parasitic nematodes, belonging to the family Cystidicolidae. Species of Cystidicola are parasitic in the swimbladder of fish.[1][2]
Species
According to the World Register of Marine Species,[1] the genus currently (2018) includes only the following species:
The eggs of Cystidicola farionis are covered with numerous filaments.[3][4]
Other species have been included in the genus but are now considered to be part of other genera:
-
Cystidicola marina Szidat, 1961
-
Cystidicola salmonicola Ishii, 1916
-
Cystidicola skrjabini Layman, 1933
-
Cystidicola walkeri Ekbaum, 1935
