checklist

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Tavakol, Sareh, Amin, Omar M., Luus-Powell, Wilmien J., Halajian, Ali (2015): The acanthocephalan fauna of Iran, a check list. Zootaxa 4033 (2): 237-258, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4033.2.3

Abstract

The acanthocephalan fauna of Iran is reported for the first time since the report of Pomphorhynchus perforator (von Linstow, 1908) Meyer, 1932 in 1964. The knowledge of the acanthocephalan biodiversity of Iran, with parasite-host and hostparasite checklists, is presented. The species of Acanthocephala are presented in alphabetical order, followed by the species of hosts, localities and references. A total of 30 known species of Acanthocephala from 21 genera, 12 families and 7 orders are reported from 80 species of different vertebrates of Iran. One species, Moniliformis moniliformis (Bremser, 1811) Travassos, 1915 was recorded from humans. The group of hosts with the largest number of reported species of acanthocephalan is Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes).
