Cichlidogyrus is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans in the family Ancyrocephalidae. The type-species of the genus is Cichlidogyrus arthracanthus Paperna, 1960, by original designation.[1] All the species of the genus are parasites on the gills of fish, namely African Cichlidae, Nandidae and Cyprinodontidae.[1] [2] [3][4] [5] [6]
Species of Cichlidogyrus are parasitic in many cichlid species in the Lake Tanganyika; a recent study (2016) has shown that species which are parasite on deep-water fish show reduced parasite-host specificity in comparison to species from littoral waters, probably an adaptation to low host availability.[7]
According to Antoine Pariselle and Louis Euzet, 71 species of Cichlidogyrus were known in 2009 [3] - new species have been described since. Nikol Kmentová, Milan Gelnar, Stephan Koblmüller and Maarten P.M. Vanhove estimated that the number of species was more than 100 in 2016[8] and Chahrazed Rahmouni, Maarten P. M. Vanhove and Andrea Šimková listed 111 species in 2017.[9]
Species of Cichlidogyrus have been introduced in various parts of the world, as alien species, where their hosts, particularly tilapia, have been introduced.[10]
Among many species, a few examples:

Cichlidogyrus es un género de de platelmintos monogéneos de la familia Dactylogyridae (o Ancyrocephalidae según determinadas clasificaciones). Todas las especies del género son parásitos de las branquias de los peces africanos de las familias Cichlidae, Nandidae y Cyprinodontidae.[1] [2] [3][4] [5] [6]
Según Antoine Pariselle y Louis Euzet, en 2009 se conocían 71 especies de Cichlidogyrus;[3] desde entonces se han descrito nuevas especies. Nikol Kmentová, Milan Gelnar, Stephan Koblmüller y Maarten P.M. Vanhove estimó que el número de especies era de más de 100 en 2016[7] y Chahrazed Rahmouni, Maarten P. M. Vanhove y Andrea Šimková enumeraron 111 especies en 2017.[8]
Se han introducido especies de Cichlidogyrus en diversas partes del mundo, como especies exóticas, donde se han introducido sus hospedantes, en particular las tilapias.[9]
De entre las muchas especies existentes, se indican algunos pocos ejemplos:
