One-host Flukes
Monogenea
Monogeneans are a group of ectoparasites commonly found on the skin, gills, or fins of fish. They have a direct life cycle and do not require an intermediate host. Adults are hermaphrodites, meaning they have both male and female reproductive structures (Tubbsa et al., 2005). Monogeneans have a series of hooks which are used to attach onto fish and as a result, could lead to infections.
