Gyrodactylus specimens infecting both anadromous Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) from River Signaldalselva (northern Norway) and resident Arctic charr from Lake Pålsbufjorden (southern Norway) were identified as G. salaris using molecular markers and morphometrics. The infection in Pålsbufjorden represents the first record of a viable G. salaris population infecting a host in the wild in the absence of salmon (Salmo salar). G. salaris on charr from Signaldalselva and Pålsbufjorden bear…

Variation in host preference within Gyrodactylus salaris (Monogenea): an experimental approach
TLDR
Researchers studied experimentally the infectivity and reproductive capacity of G. salaris from Lake Pålsbufjorden on wild and hatchery-reared Atlantic salmon as well as on Arctic charr and rainbow trout, finding that Atlantic salmon stocks from River Numedalslågen and River Drammenselva were innately resistant to only slightly susceptible.
Gyrodactylus salaris (Monogenea, Gyrodactylidae) infections on resident Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) in southern Norway
TLDR
Observations of frequently occurring G. salaris on charr have implications for the diagnosis, management and control of salmonid gyrodactylosis.
Infections with Gyrodactylus spp. (Monogenea) in Romanian fish farms: Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957 extends its range
TLDR
The study shows that there are still unknown populations and variants (haplotypes) of G. salaris present in European rainbow trout aquaculture, all or many of them with unknown biological characteristics such as host specificity and virulence.
Seasonal dynamics and persistence of Gyrodactylus salaris in two riverine anadromous Arctic charr populations
TLDR
It is indicated that Arctic charr is a good natural host for G. salaris, which has been shown to display a wide range of host-responses to the parasite.
The first report of Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957 (Platyhelminthes, Monogenea) on Italian cultured stocks of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum).
Hybrid origin of Baltic salmon‐specific parasite Gyrodactylus salaris: a model for speciation by host switch for hemiclonal organisms
TLDR
The hypothesis that the parasite switched from grayling to salmon during the glacial diaspora was tested using a 493‐bp nuclear DNA marker ADNAM1 and indicated rare sex within the Baltic salmon‐specific mtDNA clade, but the WS/BS heterozygosity was lost in only one salmon hatchery clone.
Experiments to test if allopatric Salvelinus alpinus are suitable year-round hosts of Gyrodactylus salaris (Monogenea).
TLDR
The results suggest that S. alpinus are adequate long-term hosts of G. salaris independent of the presence of the co-occurring highly susceptible S. salar.
Genetisk analyse av opprinnelsen til Gyrodactylus salaris-infeksjonen på laksunger i Lærdalselva
TLDR
The main purpose of this investigation was to look at the relationship between the parasites found in the river Lærdalselva and the RBT-clone and other strains of G. salaris, and suggests that also the parasites in Oslo fjord populations are most probably similar or parallel recombinants.
Identification of Gyrodactylus ectoparasites in Polish salmonid farms by PCR-RFLP of the nuclear ITS segment of ribosomal DNA (Monogenea, Gyrodactylidae)
TLDR
The Polish fauna with seven different Gyrodactylus clones separated by PCR-RFLP was the most diverse reported in fish farms in any country so far, and an unexpected parasite species diversity was found.

The suitability of anadromous Arctic charr as host and vector of the monogenean Gyrodactylus salaris
TLDR
There was little variation in the rates of infestation of Arctic charr along the studied stretch of the river, even in areas with very low densities of Atlantic salmon parr, indicating that the parasites are able to reproduce on Arcticcharr in the wild.
Host specificity and dispersal strategy in gyrodactylid monogeneans, with particular reference to Gyrodactylus saiaris (Platyhelminthes, Monogenea)
TLDR
Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957 is an important pathogen in Norwegian populations of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, which seems to be generally unable to reproduce on non-salmonids, and on cyprinids, individual behavioural mechanisms of the parasite may prevent infection.

TLDR
It was found that the total length of the anchors of G. salaris on rainbow trout may considerably exceed the previously reported maximum of 80 μm for the species.

Analysis of ribosomal RNA intergenic spacer (IGS) sequences in species and populations of Gyrodactylus (Platyhelminthes: Monogenea) from salmonid fish in Northern Europe.
TLDR
The intergenic spacer (IGS) region of ribosomal RNA genes was amplified and sequenced from a variety of Gyrodactylus specimens collected from wild and farmed Atlantic salmon, supporting the existence of a rainbow-trout form that was initially identified on the basis of morphological differences.
Differences in susceptibility of anadromous and resident stocks of Arctic charr to infections of Gyrodactylus salaris, under experimental conditions
TLDR
The ability of Gyrodactylus salaris to infect anadromous and resident stocks of the Arctic charr, in Norway, has been examined in the laboratory, and the extended period of survival on this host suggests that charr may be important in the epidemiology of G. salaris, in northern Norway.
Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L., brown trout Salmo trutta L. and Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus (L.): a review of aspects of their life histories
TLDR
Various aspects of phenotypic and life-history variation of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L., brown trout Salmo trutta L., and Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus are reviewed.
SPECIATION BY HOST SWITCH AND ADAPTIVE RADIATION IN A FISH PARASITE GENUS GYRODACTYLUS (MONOGENEA, GYRODACTYLIDAE)
TLDR
The phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that G. (Limnonephrotus) is a monophyletic group that was originally hosted by cyprinids, and interestingly the adaptive radiation seems to be a consequence of host switch to a new family (key innovation model).
Unpredicted transmission strategy of Gyrodactylus salaris (Monogenea: Gyrodactylidae): survival and infectivity of parasites on dead hosts
TLDR
Temperature-dependent survival of G. salaris, temperature-dependent infection of dead infected hosts, and establishment and subsequent population growth of parasites previously maintained on dead hosts for 3 days, was similar to that of parasites transferred directly between living hosts are examined.
