The Nuclear Ribosomal Transcription Units of Two Echinostomes and Their Taxonomic Implications for the Family Echinostomatidae. [PDF]

Biology (Basel)
Echinostomatidae is a taxonomically complex group with substantial species diversity and richness. The vast majority of species in this family parasitize birds and mammals, including humans, causing significant economic losses and medical costs.

Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic implications of <i>Chaunocephalus ferox</i> (Digenea: Echinostomatidae), a critical pathogen for Oriental Stork conservation. [PDF]

Int J Parasitol Parasites Wildl
Chaunocephalus ferox is an intestinal trematode infecting storks and is increasingly recognized as a potential threat to the conservation of the Oriental Stork (Ciconia boyciana). However, its evolutionary history remains poorly understood. In this study,

Ultrastructural Characteristics of the Mature Spermatozoon of Artyfechinostomum malayanum (Digenea: Echinostomatidae), an Intestinal Parasite of Rattus norvegicus (Rodentia: Muridae) in Vietnam. [PDF]

Animals (Basel)
The study of sperm characteristics has proven useful for elucidating interrelationships in several groups of Platyhelminthes, such as digeneans. Thus, in the present work, the ultrastructural organization of the mature spermatozoon of the digenean ...

Diversity of echinostomes (Digenea: Echinostomatidae) in their snail hosts at high latitudes. [PDF]

Parasite, 2021
The biodiversity of freshwater ecosystems globally still leaves much to be discovered, not least in the trematode parasite fauna they support. Echinostome trematode parasites have complex, multiple-host life-cycles, often involving migratory bird ...

A new cryptic species of Echinostoma (Trematoda: Echinostomatidae) closely related to Echinostoma paraensei found in Brazil. [PDF]

Parasitology, 2023
Echinostoma paraensei, described in Brazil at the end of the 1960s and used as a biological model for a range of studies, belongs to the ‘revolutum’ complex of Echinostoma comprising species with 37 collar spines.

The genetic structure of populations of Isthmiophora melis (Schrank, 1788) (Digenea: Echinostomatidae). Does the host's diet matter? [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2023
Background Here we provide a comparative analysis of the genetic structure of populations (based on nad1 mtDNA) of Isthmiophora melis isolated from the American mink (Neogale vison), an introduced invasive species, commonly occurring in the territory of ...

Seasonal dynamics and molecular phylogenetic studies on cercariae in Central Zone of Kashmir valley. [PDF]

PLoS One
A total of 12103 snails examined in Central Kashmir for determining the population dynamics of cercariae revealed overall prevalence to be 4.03%. Gymnocephalus (0.13%), furcocercous (0.28%), echinostome (0.34%) and xiphido-cercaria (3.26%) were recorded.

Parasite-Driven host manipulation: The case of trematodes in Neotropical tadpoles. [PDF]

Int J Parasitol Parasites Wildl
Parasites can impact tadpole survival in both lethal and sublethal ways. Sublethal effects include alterations in morphology and behavior, reduced competitive ability, and increased vulnerability to predation, while lethal effects result in direct ...
