Telosentis Van Cleve, 1923

Telosentis is a genus of acanthocephalans. The representatives of the genus are distributed in tropical waters of Indian ocean, Pacific coast of Australia and Mediterranean. Consists of four species:[7]

  • Telosentis australiensis Edmonds, 1964
  • Telosentis exiguus (von Linstow, 1901)
Main article: Telosentis exiguus

T. exiguus is a widespread intestinal parasitic worm. Its hosts are marine and brackish water fish of the Mediterranean basin. This species is found in the Mediterranean Sea[8] (near the coasts of France and Italy), in the Adriatic Sea (Italy, Montenegro), the Sea of Marmara,[9] the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov (near the coasts of Ukraine). T. exiguus is able to thrive in a variety hosts. It has been found as an intestinal parasite in anchovies, sand-smelts, shads, garfishes, eels, sticklebacks, pipe-fishes, grass gobies, some other gobies, blennies, and wrasses.

Proboscis of Telosentis exiguus from the grass goby from Ukraine

T. exiguus' tegument is covered with spines in anterior and posterior parts. Its cerebral ganglion located in central part of the proboscis sac, sometime moved to anterior region. Its proboscis is cylindrical or club-shaped, armed with 12 longitudal rows of hooks of same type; the smaller hooks are in the posterior region of proboscis, larger is in its central part. The roots of the hooks have long forward-facing appendixes.[7]

In the Black Sea the intermediate hosts of this acanthocephalan is the amphipod Apherusa bispinosa,[10] in the coelom of which the cystacanthes are located. Fish are infested by feeding on amphipods infected with larvae.

  • Telosentis lutianusi Gupta & Gupta, 1990
  • Telosentis mizellei Gupta & Fatma, 1988
  • Telosentis molini Van Cleave, 1923
