NEW RECORD OF CESTODE GENUS DILEPIS WENILAND, 1858 IN AVIAN HOST LITTLE CORMORANT, MICROCARBO NIGER (AVES: PHALACROCORACIDAE) OF DISTRICT KAMBER-SHAHDADKOT, SINDH PROVINCE, PAKISTAN.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Present study aimed to investigate Cestode fauna of avian host Little Cormorant, Microcarbo niger captured from Kamber-Shahdadkot district, Sindh province of Pakistan. Eight Little Cormorant Microcarbo niger hosts were investigated for the presence of Cestode parasites. Anesthetized birds were dissected and entire alimentary canal and associated organs were removed. A total of five specimens of Dilepidid Cestodes were recovered from the intestine of three hosts. Cestodes collected from the freshly dissected hosts were initially placed in saline solution and dehydrated in graded series of ethanol, stained with borax carmine, cleared in clove oil and xylene and finally mounted in Canada balsam permanently. Parasitic examination revealed an apparently undescribed species of genus Dilepis Weniland, 1858 from the intestine of the host, M. niger. Recovered specimens differ remarkably from other known species of genus Dilepis Weniland, 1858 in having some unique features such as, 12 rostellar hooks, long neck, four pre-ovarian testes, unilateral genital pore and spinose cirrus sac located at lower part of each segment. On the basis of the above morphometric variations, but absence of molecular study, present specimens are identified as Dilepis sp. This paper also constitutes the first record of the genus Dilepis Weinland, 1958 from Pakistan. Key words: Avian Cestode; Dilepis Weniland, 1858; Little Cormorant Microcarbo niger; Sindh; Pakistan.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
