Abstract

In this study, we provide the first genetically verified distribution record beyond its native range ofLigulapavlovskii, a high-impact endoparasite of Ponto-Caspian gobies. According to parasitological surveys,ligulosis was detected for the first time in monkey goby individuals collected from Lake Balaton in2004, 34 years after the first record of monkey goby in the lake. During a Lake Balaton survey in 2018,we detected tapeworms in 44.4% of the sampled monkey gobies. This prevalence is about two to tentimes higher than it was reported from within the native range of the fish hosts. The same surveyrevealed an uneven spatial distribution of the ligulosis in the monkey gobies inhabiting different shore-line sections of the lake. We assume that the occurrence and recent distribution data of this high-impactendoparasite may provide useful information for potential biocontrol measures of invasive Ponto-Caspiangobies in the future.
