Retraction: Neoechinorhynchus macrospinosus (Acanthocephala: Neoechinorhynchidae) in Rabbit fish Siganus rivulatus (Siganidae): morphology and phylogeny

ABSTRACT

The editorial board of Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Parasitology communicates the formal publication ofRetraction for extracting the articleAbdel-Gaber R, Al-Quraishy S, Abdel-Gaber R, Dkhil MAM. Neoechinorhynchus macrospinosus (AcanthocephalaNeoechinorhynchidae) in Rabbit fish Siganus rivulatus (Siganidae) morphology and phylogeny. Braz J Vet Parasitol2020; 29(3) e005120. https//doi.org/10.1590/s1984-29612020034.The article is being retracted because the authors cited in the text (Amin and Nahhas, 1994) do not described“Neoechinorhynchus” macrospinosus but Neorhadinorhynchus macrospinosus. Specimens in figures 1 & 2, are certainlynot Neoechinorhynchus and your phylogenetic tree (figure 3) is totally in error and corrupts the data base of GenBank.(AU)
