GYRODACTYLUS

Definition

Genus of monogenetic trematode. Gyrodactylus spp. are small viviparous forms, predominantly ectoparasitic on fishes, and tend to be highly host-specific. They can reproduce very rapidly in favourable conditions and can be a significant pathological feature in freshwater and sea water culture.
