生物入侵对水产养殖业构成严重威胁，因为许多引入的寄生虫可能会对野生和养殖鱼类的健康状况产生负面影响。在本报告中，入侵绦虫huronensisAnthony，1958（绦虫纲：Carpellidea），最初描述于北美，并已引入欧洲，包括不列颠群岛，其特定宿主为普通鲤鱼（Cyprinus carpioL.），首次在非洲发现。最近在南非四个养殖鲤鱼的地方发现了这种鱼，这再次证明在各大洲之间转移养殖鱼类，特别是鲤鱼时，预防措施和兽医控制不足。与亚洲鱼类绦虫Bothriocephalus acheilognathi、A. huronensis是另一种鱼类绦虫，由于人为引入其鱼类宿主，因此能够在地球仪中传播。
Biological invasions represent a serious threat for aquaculture because many of introduced parasites may negatively affect the health state of feral and cultured fish. In the present account, the invasive tapewormAtractolytocestus huronensisAnthony, 1958 (Cestoda: Caryophyllidea), which was originally described from North America and has been introduced to Europe including the British Isles with its specific host, common carp (Cyprinus carpioL.), is reported from Africa for the first time. Its recent introduction to South Africa, where it was found in four localities where common carp is cultured, is another evidence of insufficient prophylactic measures and inadequate veterinary control during transfers of cultured fish, especially common carp, between continents. Together with the Asian fish tapeworm,Bothriocephalus acheilognathi,A. huronensisis another fish tapeworm with ability to spread throughout the globe as a result of man-made introductions of its fish hosts.
