Encotyllabe [Encotyllabe]

Description

Encotyllabe is a genus of capsalid monogeneans known for infesting the gills and occasionally the body surface of marine fishes. Members of this genus are characterized by a complex life cycle involving direct host-to-host transmission without intermediate hosts. They are recognized for their detailed attachment structures, which enable a secure connection to the gill filaments of their hosts. Encotyllabe species are studied for their potential effects on fish health and their interactions with other gill parasites.
