We use a new molecular phylogeny, developed from small and large subunit ribosomal
RNA genes, to explore evolution of the digenean life cycle. Our approach is to map …

The application of molecular systematics to the parasitic Platyhelminthes (Cestoda, Digenea
and Monogenea) over the last decade has advanced our understanding of their …

From Darwin onward, it has been second nature for evolutionary biologists to think
comparatively because comparisons establish the generality of evolutionary phenomena …

Complete small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (ssrDNA) and partial (D1–D3) large subunit
ribosomal RNA gene (lsrDNA) sequences were used to estimate the phylogeny of the …

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 is the second of three volumes of Keys to the Trematoda, a series on the systematics
and identification of the Class Trematoda. The book presents the taxa in the Order …

Fish are a unique group which harbour some 30,000 species of helminths that do not occur
in other vertebrates. This book deals specifically with parasitic worms of fish. It covers every …

Phylogenetic interrelationships of 32 species belonging to 18 genera and four families of the
superfamily Microphalloidea were studied using partial sequences of nuclear lsrDNA …

This is the second of three volumes of Keys to the Trematoda, a series on the systematics
and identification of the Class Trematoda Rudolphi, 1808 of the Phylum Platyhelminthes. It …

This comprehensive, authoritative and up-to-date work provides the definitive overview of
marine parasites worldwide. It is an invaluable reference for students and researchers in …
