Jean-Lou Justine (born 1955), French parasitologist and zoologist, is a professor at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, France, and a specialist of fish parasites and invasive land planarians. [1]
Justine was in high school in Saint Raphaël, France, then an undergraduate student at the University of Nice (1972–1976), and at the École Normale Supérieure in Saint-Cloud after which he passed the Agrégation in 1977, and finally a graduate student at the University of Montpellier. He passed his PhD in 1980 [2] and his Doctorat d'État (State doctorate) in 1985, [3] both in the University of Montpellier, under the supervision of Professors Xavier Mattei and Louis Euzet.
From 1978 to 1985, Justine was Assistant then Maître-Assistant (assistant professor) at the University of Dakar, Senegal. He entered the National Museum of Natural History (MNHN) in 1985 to join, as Maître-Assistant (Assistant Professor) the laboratory directed at that time by Professor Alain Chabaud. He is a member of the MNHN since, and a full professor since 1995, but spent several years (2003–2011) as visiting scholar in Nouméa, New Caledonia.
Justine is the curator of the parasitic worms in the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, France, [1] [4] and, since 2013, a deputy-director the Institute of Systematics, Evolution and Biodiversity (ISYEB), [1] one of the largest units in the MNHN. [5]
He is also a member of the EASIN (European Alien Species Information Network) Editorial Board since 2015 [6] and the editor-in-chief of the journal Parasite since 2012. [7]
Justine has worked on several fields during his career. His early research and his theses were about sperm ultrastructure in parasitic flatworms and its use for phylogeny. [2] [3] He then worked on systematics of nematodes, monogeneans and other parasites, especially the species from coral reef fish. [8] [9] [10] [11]
Justine has published more than 250 papers since 1981 [12] [13] and described more than one hundred new species, [14] which are all parasitic animals belonging mainly to the Nematoda and Monogenea, and also Digenea, Cestoda, and Crustacea.
After 2013, Justine undertook a research about invasive land planarians, such as Platydemus manokwari . The papers issued from this research [15] [16] [17] [18] had some impact on the media, including French radios, [19] televisions and newspapers, [20] [21] [22] and newspapers and media from the USA, [23] UK [24] and other countries. [25]
Justine has been the editor-in-chief of the Mémoires du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, from 1992 to 1998, and of Zoosystema , a journal of zoology, from 1998 to 2002; [26] both are journals published by the National Museum of Natural History in Paris. Since 2013, he is the editor-in-chief of the open-access journal Parasite , [7] the official journal of the French Society of Parasitology. Justine is a member of the editorial board of the parasitological journals Helminthologia, [27] Acta Parasitologica, [28] and Folia Parasitologica, [29] and is one of the numerous Academic Editors of the megajournal PeerJ . [30] Justine has also been the editor of a few books, on spermatozoa, [31] ultrastructure of flatworms [32] and deep-sea fauna [33] and of an International Congress Proceeding on flatworms. [34]
A small number of taxa names have been created to honour his name – most are parasitic worms. The genus Justinema R’kha & Durette-Desset, 1991, [35] is a member of the trichostrongylid nematodes. Species named after him include a nematode, Philometra justinei Moravec, Ternengo & Levron, 2006, [36] two digeneans, Hurleytrematoides justinei McNamara & Cribb, 2009 [37] and Lepotrema justinei Bray, Cutmore & Cribb, 2018, [38] and a parasitic copepod, Anuretes justinei Venmathi Maran, Ohtsuka & Boxshall, 2008. [39] Among the Monogenea, Cichlidogyrus jeanloujustinei Rahmouni, Vanhove & Šimková, 2017 [40] has been named after him, as well as four species of the genus Pseudorhabdosynochus , namely Pseudorhabdosynochus justinei Zeng & Yang, 2007, [41] P. enitsuji Neifar & Euzet, 2007 [42] (an anagram of justinei), P. jeanloui Knoff, Cohen, Cárdenas, Cárdenas-Callirgos & Gomes, 2015, [43] and P. justinella Kritsky, Bakenhaster & Adams, 2015. [44] Solenofilomorpha justinei Nilsson, Wallberg & Jondelius 2011, [45] an Acoela, is not a parasite.
The brownspotted grouper, also known as the brown spotted reef cod, brown-spotted rockcod, coral grouper or honeycomb cod, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a grouper from the subfamily Epinephelinae which is part of the family Serranidae, which also includes the anthias and sea basses. It has an Indo-Pacific distribution but in the northern Indian Ocean this distribution is discontinuous. It forms part of a species complex with two closely related species in the genus Epinephelus.
The blacktip grouper, also known as the redbanded grouper, blacktipped cod, black-tipped rockcod, footballer cod, red-barred cod, red-barred rockcod, scarlet rock-cod or weathered rock-cod, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a grouper from the subfamily Epinephelinae which is part of the family Serranidae, which also includes the anthias and sea basses. It is found in the tropical Indo-Pacific region. It is the type species of the genus Epinephelus.
Epinephelus ongus, the white-streaked grouper, specklefin grouper, lace-finned rock-cod, specklefin rockcod, wavy-lined tock-cod, white-speckled grouper or white-spotted rock-cod, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a grouper from the subfamily Epinephelinae which is part of the family Serranidae, which also includes the anthias and sea basses. It has a wide Indo-Pacific distribution and it is found in brackish waters as well as marine reefs.
Philometra is a genus of nematodes, which are parasites of marine and freshwater fishes. The genus was erected by Oronzio Gabriele Costa in 1845.
Pseudorhabdosynochus is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, included in the family Diplectanidae. The type-species of the genus is Pseudorhabdosynochus epinepheli .
Pseudorhabdosynochus manifestus is a diplectanid monogenean parasite first found in host Epinephelus malabaricus near Nouméa, between its secondary gill lamellae. It can infest its host by the hundreds. It was ascribed that name because it was the most abundant species found while its descriptive study was taking place. As appreciated from studying juvenile specimens, the development of female organs precedes that of male organs in this species and is likely the case in other Pseudorhabdosynochus species.
Pseudorhabdosynochus beverleyburtonae is a diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of the dusky grouper, Epinephelus marginatus. It has been described by Guy Oliver in 1984 as Cycloplectanum beverleyburtonae, redescribed by Oliver in 1987, transferred to the genus Pseudorhabdosynochus by Kritsky & Beverley-Burton in 1986 as Pseudorhabdosynochus beverleyburtonae, redescribed by Kritsky, Bakenhaster and Adams in 2015, and redescribed in 2016 by Chaabane, Neifar, Gey & Justine.
Pseudorhabdosynochus huitoe is a diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of the highfin grouper, Epinephelus maculatus. It was described in 2007.
František Moravec is a Czech parasitologist who specialises on the Nematodes, especially the nematodes parasites of fishes. His research is mainly in the field of taxonomy of the Nematoda.
Delane C. Kritsky is an American parasitologist who specialised on the Monogenea, a class of parasitic flatworms which are important ectoparasites of fishes. His research was mainly in the fields of taxonomy, faunistics, and phylogeny of the Monogenea.
Pseudorhabdosynochus enitsuji is a diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of groupers. It has been described in 2007 by Lassad Neifar & Louis Euzet. The name of the species honours French parasitologist Jean-Lou Justine . The species has been redescribed by Amira Chaabane, Lassad Neifar, and Jean-Lou Justine in 2017, from the type-material and additional specimens.
Pseudorhabdosynochus justinei is a species of diplectanid monogenean that is parasitic on the gills of the longfin grouper Epinephelus quoyanus. It was described in 2007 by Binjian Zeng and Tingbao Yang from material from the South China Sea, and redescribed in 2009 by Justine, Dupoux & Cribb from material from off Queensland, Australia.
Laticola is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, belonging to the family Diplectanidae. All known species are parasitic on the gills of marine fish, including members of Lates (Latidae) and Epinephelus (Serranidae).
Laticola dae is a species of diplectanid monogenean. It is parasitic on the gills of the Highfin grouper, Epinephelus maculatus. It was described in 2006. The species is a member of the genus Laticola Yang, Kritsky, Sun, Zhang, Shi & Agrawal, 2006. More than 400 specimens of this parasite were studied for the description of the species, which was the most abundant monogenean species, representing about 50% of the specimens found on this fish.
