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

Interrelationships of the tapeworms (Platyhelminthes: Cestoda) were examined by use of
small (SSU) and large (LSU) subunit ribosomal DNA sequences and morphological …

We present a molecular phylogeny of the Proteocephalidea based on 28S rDNA sequence
data that is a follow-up to the paper by Zehnder & Mariaux (1999). Twenty-three new …

Proteocephalidean tapeworms form a diverse group of parasites currently known from 315
valid species. Most of the diversity of adult proteocephalideans can be found in freshwater …

An exhaustive literature search supplemented by a critical examination of records made it
possible to present an annotated checklist of tapeworms (Cestoda) that, as adults or larvae …

The treatment of the Onchoproteocephalidea presented here differs from those of the 18
other cestode orders addressed in this Special Publication in that the members of this order …

Although phylogenetic frameworks existed for some orders prior to the Planetary Biodiversity
Inventory (PBI) project (ie, Trypanorhyncha [see Palm et al., 2009]“Tetraphyllidea”[see Olson …

Adult tetraphyllidean tapeworms (Platyhelminthes: Eucestoda) from the spiral intestines of 3
species of potamotrygonid stingrays (Paratrygon aiereba, Potamotrygon castexi, and …

In a manner similar to many other groups of organisms, the tapeworm order
Proteocephalidea poses a difficult phylogenetic problem if treated on the basis of single …

Abstract Testudotaenia testudo (Magath, 1924) is redescribed from the intestine of the
softshell turtle Apalone spinifera (Le Sueur)(Trionychidae) and the bowfin Amia calva …
