Abstract In Southeast Asia, a total of 59 species of foodborne intestinal flukes have been
known to occur in humans. The largest group is the family Heterophyidae, which constitutes …

This review examines the significant literature on the immunology and pathology of intestinal
trematodes in their definitive hosts. We emphasize information on selected species in six …

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 recognition of cryptic parasite species has implications for evolutionary and population-
based studies of wildlife and human disease. Echinostome trematodes are a widely …

In order to investigate the relationships within the Echinostomatidae two data sets of gene
sequences were analysed. The first consisted of all previously published ND1 sequences …

Background The digenean species of Echinostoma (Echinostomatidae) with 37 collar spines
that comprise the so-called 'revolutum'species complex, qualify as cryptic due to the …

Background The systematics of echinostomes within the so-called'revolutum'group of the
genus Echinostoma, which encompasses the type-species E. revolutum and a number of …

A total of 20 species belonging to nine genera of Echinostomatidae are known to cause
human infections around the world. They constitute an important group of food-borne …

The effect of echinostome infections on the survival of Rana pipiens tadpoles was examined
in relation to developmental stage of tadpoles. Individual tadpoles of Gosner stages 25, 27 …

Conservation strategies depend on our understanding of the ecosystem and community
dynamics. To date, such understanding has focused mostly on predator–prey and …
