Characterization of a diversity of tetraphyllidean and rhinebothriidean cestode larval types, with comments on host associations and life-cycles
K Jensen, SA Bullard - International Journal for Parasitology, 2010 - Elsevier
Life-cycles of marine tapeworms of the orders Tetraphyllidea and Rhinebothriidea are poorly
known primarily because their larvae typically lack species level, taxonomically …
