Molecular phylogenetic analysis of Neodiplostomum and Fibricola (Digenea, Diplostomidae) does not support host-based systematics. [PDF]
Abstract Fibricola and Neodiplostomum are diplostomid genera with very similar morphology that are currently separated based on their definitive hosts. Fibricola spp. are normally found in mammals, while Neodiplostomum spp.

Descriptions of diplostomid metacercariae (Digenea: Diplostomidae) from freshwater fishes in the Tshwane area [PDF]
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

Parasites have deleterious effects on their hosts, often resulting in altered host behavior or increased energy expenditure. When organisms are exposed to suboptimal environments, parasite loading may increase. Microbialite pools along the warm temperate

Interactions between endoparasites and anurans in the Nhecolândia Pantanal, Brazil [PDF]
We 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.

Biology of a New Cercaria for Posthodiplostomum minimum (Trematoda: Diplostomidae)
Snails, Physa halei Lea, from Madison County, East Texas, shed strigeid cercariae in large numbers. Adult Posthodiplostomum minimum (MacCallum, 1921) Dubois, 1936, were recovered from chicks force-fed metacercariae obtained from both natural and experimental infections of fishes.

Helminth parasites of fish of the Kazakhstan sector of the Caspian Sea and associated drainage basin [PDF]
The northern section of the Caspian Sea is an important fishery for Kazakhstan. In the present study, a total of 606 individuals of 13 fish species were collected. For each of Abramis brama, Alosa saposchnikowii, Atherina boyeri caspia, Carassius auratus,

Morphological and molecular assessment of muscle metacercariae infecting tench Tinca tinca from fish farms and wild populations in Germany [PDF]
Fish can be infected with metacercariae (the final larval stage) of different species of potentially zoonotic digenetic trematodes (flukes). The fish-borne zoonotic trematodes thus compromise food safety and present a major threat for human health ...
