Unravelling the diversity of the Crassiphialinae (Digenea: Diplostomidae) with molecular phylogeny and descriptions of five new species [PDF]
Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-borne Diseases, 2021 Crassiphialinae Sudarikov, 1960 is a large subfamily of the Diplostomidae Poirier, 1886 with a complex taxonomic history. It includes a diversity of species parasitic in the intestines of avian and mammalian definitive hosts worldwide.

Diplostomum-Induced Sac Formation in Lenses of Ameiurus Bullheads: A Host Defence Response? [PDF]
J Fish DisABSTRACT Trematodes of the genus Diplostomum (Diplostomidae) are widely distributed and significant fish pathogens known for causing a range of negative effects. Any mechanism that protects the host from the parasite thus represents an evolutionary advantage.

Descriptions of diplostomid metacercariae (Digenea: Diplostomidae) from freshwater fishes in the Tshwane area [PDF]
Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2013 The metacercarial (larval) stages of diplostomid digeneans are known to inhabit freshwater fish, causing tissue damage in the process. Due to their widespread diversity, little is known about their life cycle. The classification of these parasitic stages

Parasitic Infections of Freshwater Fish in Kenya: Prevalence Patterns, Ecological Drivers, and Implications for Aquaculture Sustainability. [PDF]
J Parasitol ResFish parasitic infections present a growing threat to freshwater aquaculture in Kenya, affecting fish health, reducing productivity, and limiting the economic potential of small‐scale and commercial farms. This review provides the first consolidated national checklist of freshwater fish parasites in Kenya, synthesizing evidence from lakes, rivers, and ...

A fine-scale phylogenetic assessment of digenean trematodes in central Alberta reveals we have yet to uncover their total diversity. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2019 This manuscript represents a large, single, collective examination of larval trematodes from snail hosts, using molecular markers and phylogenetic methods. We contribute 1,091 mitochondrial sequences (cox1 and nad1) that represent 79 species from 23 genera and eight families.

Bridging knowledge gaps in two trematode life cycles: insights from southern African freshwater ecosystems [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeUnderstanding and resolving trematode life cycles is increasingly recognised as an important objective in helminth research, as many species are known only from certain developmental stages or hosts.

Morphological and molecular characterization of Austrodiplostomum compactum metacercariae in the eyes and brains of fishes from the Ivaí River, Brazil [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2022 Austrodiplostomum spp. (Platyhelminthes: Digenea) are endoparasites with a broad geographic distribution in South America. During the larval stage, they parasitize the eyes, brains, muscles, gill, kidneys and swim bladder of a wide variety of fishes. The

Trematode Infection Prevalence Increases With Snail Richness: Observations From a 4-Year Study of Snail-Trematode Interactions. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe find that higher snail richness correlated with increased overall and generalist trematode infections, while specialist infections showed a similar but nonsignificant trend. The study also highlighted potential host‐switching events and the impact of long‐term sampling on parasite communities, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring of host ...

Interactions between endoparasites and anurans in the Nhecolândia Pantanal, Brazil [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia VeterináriaWe analyzed the distribution of endoparasites in five species of Hylidae frogs during their reproductive period, aiming to understand how the host's habitat influences the parasites.
