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 …

Digenean trematode distributions, compatibility profiles with their snail hosts, and complete
life cycles remain mysteries in many parts of the world. Surveys of digenean biology and …

Digenean trematode parasites require multiple host species to complete their life cycles, and
their abundance can often be strongly correlated with the abundance of their host species …

Background Digenean trematodes are parasitic platyhelminths that use several hosts in their
life cycles and are thereby embedded in various ecosystems affected by local environmental …

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 …

Trematode communities in populations of estuarine snails can reflect surrounding animal
diversity, abundance, and trophic interactions. We know less about the potential for …

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 …

The trematodes are a species-rich group of parasites, with some estimates suggesting that
there are more than 24,000 species. However, recent interests on the biology of trematodes …

Background Physa acuta is a globally invasive freshwater snail native to North America.
Prior studies have led to conflicting views of how P. acuta populations are connected and …

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 …
