Population genetics of the fish tapeworm Wenyonia virilis (Caryophyllidea: Caryophyllaeidae) and its fish host Synodontis schall

The presented thesis consists of three papers/manuscripts (one published, one under review, one manuscript) on population genetic aspects of a host-parasite model, caryophyllidean tapeworm Wenyonia virilis and mochokid catfish Synodontis schall, in recently separated drainage basins, Lake Turkana and the Nile River. Three main topics are addressed herein: (i) intra- and inter-population genetic variability in and among hosts and parasites, (ii) comprehensive assessment of host model taxonomic status using multiple approaches, (iii) comparison of parasite intraspecific phenotypic with population genetic pattern. Two different genetic markers were applied to address these topics mtDNA (coxI) and whole genome scanning method (AFLP).
