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

Complete small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (ssrDNA) and partial (D1–D3) large subunit
ribosomal RNA gene (lsrDNA) sequences were used to estimate the phylogeny of the …

Digenea Carus, 1863 represent a highly diverse group of parasitic platyhelminths that infect
all major vertebrate groups as definitive hosts. Morphology is the cornerstone of digenean …

Phylogenetic interrelationships of 32 species belonging to 18 genera and four families of the
superfamily Microphalloidea were studied using partial sequences of nuclear lsrDNA …

The Echinostomatoidea is a large, cosmopolitan group of digeneans currently including nine
families and 105 genera, the vast majority parasitic, as adults, in birds with relatively few …

The platyhelminth class Trematoda comprises two subclasses with largely disparate species
diversity, the small Aspidogastrea with c. 80 species and the speciose Digenea with c …

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 …

To identify trematode diversity and life-cycles in the sub-Arctic Lake Takvatn, Norway, we
characterised 120 trematode isolates from mollusc first intermediate hosts, metacercariae …

The blood flukes of turtles (Digenea: Spirorchiidae) and the blood flukes of crocodilians,
birds and mammals (Digenea: Schistosomatidae) have long been considered as closely …

The increasing threat of emerging infectious diseases in both wildlife and humans has
spurred interest in the causes of disease emergence, including the role of anthropogenic …
