French parasitologist and zoologist
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]
Higher education and career
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]
Research
Drawings of
spermatozoa from a paper authored by Justine
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]
Editing activities
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]
Eponymous taxa
Pseudorhabdosynochus enitsuji , male and female organs
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.
