Metacercariae of the genus Posthodiplostomum are often recorded in freshwater fish hosts.
While the diversity and taxonomy of this genus are receiving increasing attention in …

Abstract Alaria, Didelphodiplostomum and Pharyngostomoides are among genera of
diplostomid digeneans known to parasitize mammalian definitive hosts. Despite numerous …

Here, we report on two cases of disease with scattered, pronounced sub-epithelial swellings
in the body of cultured snakeskin gourami (Trichopodus pectoralis) fingerlings from two …

ABSTRACT The Diplostomidae Poirier, 1886 is a large family of digeneans within the
superfamily Diplostomoidea Poirier, 1886. Members of the family are distributed worldwide …

Fibricola and Neodiplostomum are diplostomid genera with very similar morphology that are
currently separated based on their definitive hosts. Fibricola spp. are normally found in …

Members of the genus Scaphanocephalus mature in accipitrids, particularly osprey, Pandion
haliaetus, with metacercaria causing Black Spot Syndrome in reef fishes. In most of the …

Parasites, especially brain-encysting trematodes, can have an impact on host behaviour,
facilitating the transmission to next host and completion of the life cycle, but insufficient …

Individual hosts are often co-infected with multiple parasite species. Evidence from
theoretical and empirical studies supports the idea that co-occurring parasites can impact …

Kingfishers (Alcedinidae Rafinesque) are common inhabitants of wetlands and are known to
be definitive hosts to a wide range of digeneans that parasitize fish as second intermediate …

Abstract Purpose The Diplostomidae is a globally distributed family of digeneans that
parasitize a wide variety of tetrapod definitive hosts. Recent molecular phylogenetic studies …
