Cichlidogyrus gillesi is a species of monopisthocotylean monogenean in the family Ancyrocephalidae. It is known to infect Tilapia species, particularly Tilapia guineensis , and was first found in Cameroon. It can be differentiated from its cogenerates by a large and trapezoid heel of the penis, as well as having an S-shaped and wrinkle-walled vagina. It was named in honor of Dr. André Gilles of Aix-Marseille University. [1]
