Many helminth taxa have complex life cycles, involving different life stages infecting different
host species in a particular order to complete a single generation. Although the broad …

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 …

This article reviews the international literature on the natural enemies of Dreissena spp.—
bivalves which internationally have strong impacts on aquatic ecosystems, industries …

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 …

Freshwater snails are important hosts in the life cycles of many medically important
parasites, particularly for digenetic trematodes such as liver flukes and schistosomes. The …

Dactylogyrus extensus and Pseudomonas fluorescens are serious pathogens in Cyprinus
carpio aquaculture causing severe impacts and substantial economic losses. During the …

The first first-intermediate host for a species of Didymozoidae (Trematoda: Hemiuroidea), a
bivalve of the family Arcidae, is identified using multi-loci molecular data. First …

Parasites comprise a huge part of the biodiversity on earth. However, on a local scale, not
much is known about their diversity and community structure. Here, we assess the diversity …

Human disease agents exist within complex environments that have underappreciated
effects on transmission, especially for parasites with multi-host life cycles. We examined the …

Despite over 100 years of digenean trematode parasite species descriptions, from a wide
diversity of vertebrate and invertebrate host species, our ability to recognize the diversity of …
