In just over a decade, the use of molecular approaches for the recognition of parasites has
become commonplace. For trematodes, the internal transcribed spacer region of ribosomal …

The application of molecular systematics to the parasitic Platyhelminthes (Cestoda, Digenea
and Monogenea) over the last decade has advanced our understanding of their …

We examined the relative merits of mitochondrial DNA loci and ribosomal DNA internal
transcribed spacers for their use in prospecting for cryptic species of platyhelminth parasites …

The systematics of Diplostomum species, common intestinal parasites of piscivorous birds,
has long been problematic, owing to phenotypic plasticity and the paucity of morphological …

A phylogenetic study of 8 North American and European species of frog lung flukes
belonging to Haematoloechus was conducted using approximately 850 to 1,000 bases of …

abstract The separation of Clinostomum complanatum Rudolphi, 1814 and Clinostomum
marginatum Rudolphi, 1819 has long been unclear. Recent data confirm the validity of the …

The common pathogenic prodiplostomulum metacercaria in the flesh, mostly near the skin,
of pond-produced channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus has been demonstrated to be …

Taxonomic names and phylogenetic hypotheses are indispensable tools for modern
biological research, both basic and applied. Like all disciplines, parasitology suffers from the …

Larval stages of Plagiorchis spp. are both ubiquitous and ecologically important parasites in
snail populations of freshwater ecosystems in Europe. However, difficulties in distinguishing …

Adults of Clinostomum spp. are digenetic trematodes found in fish-eating birds, reptiles and
occasionally mammals, including humans. Freshwater snails serve as first intermediate …
