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 …

Two ribosomal DNA sequences were used to infer phylogenetic relationships among the
Eucestoda order Proteocephalidea. A 437bp portion of the 16S mitochondrial and a 1149bp …

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 …

The diagnosis of tapeworm infections in horses relies on copro-diagnostic methods, which
are time-consuming and of limited sensitivity for determination of the exact prevalence. The …

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

A biodiversidade de parasitos na Amazônia é subestimada em função da grande
diversidade de peixes e elevado grau de endemismo, que favorecem a megadiversidade …
