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

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 …

This catalog lists 215 species and 207 figures of trematodes parasites of amphibians and
reptiles from South America: 71 species have been recorded from amphibians and 150 from …

The biodiversity of freshwater ecosystems globally still leaves much to be discovered, not
least in the trematode parasite fauna they support. Echinostome trematode parasites have …

In the face of ongoing habitat degradation and the biodiversity crisis, natural reserves are
important refuges for wildlife. Since most free-living organisms serve as hosts to parasites …

Abstract The family Echinostomatidae Looss, 1899 is a rather heterogeneous group of
cosmopolitan, hermaphroditic digeneans that parasitize, as adults, numerous vertebrate …

Many trematode groups have a long history of systematic revision, which can make parasite
identification a difficult task. The trematode parasites of muskrats are no exception. Here, we …

Echinostomes are a diverse group of digenetic trematodes that are globally distributed. The
diversity of echinostomes in Africa remains largely unknown, particularly in analyses using …
