Biology Open, 2012 Summary Many scleractinian coral species host epizoic acoelomorph flatworms, both in aquaculture and in situ. These symbiotic flatworms may impair coral growth and health through light-shading, mucus removal and disruption of heterotrophic feeding.

Biological controls to manage Acropora-eating flatworms in coral aquaculture [PDF]
Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2020 Coral aquaculture is expanding to supply the marine ornamental trade and active coral reef restoration. A common pest of Acropora corals is the Acropora-eating flatworm Prosthiostomum acroporae, which can cause colonial mortality at high infestation ...

Neurotransmitters of sleep and wakefulness in flatworms
Sleep, 2022 Abstract Study Objectives Sleep is a prominent behavioral and biochemical state observed in all animals studied, including platyhelminth flatworms. Investigations into the biochemical mechanisms associated with sleep—and wakefulness—are important for understanding how these states are regulated and ...

To be or not to be a flatworm: the acoel controversy.
PLoS ONE, 2009 Since first described, acoels were considered members of the flatworms (Platyhelminthes). However, no clear synapomorphies among the three large flatworm taxa -- the Catenulida, the Acoelomorpha and the Rhabditophora -- have been characterized to date ...

Monogenean parasitic flatworms
Current BiologyVanhove and colleagues introduce monogenean parasitic flatworms, a species-rich group of ectoparasitic flatworms that are mostly found on the skin, gills, or fins of fish and have a life cycle involving a single host.

Mitochondrial genomes of parasitic flatworms
Trends in Parasitology, 2002 Complete or near-complete mitochondrial genomes are now available for 11 species or strains of parasitic flatworms belonging to the Trematoda and the Cestoda. The organization of these genomes is not strikingly different from those of other eumetazoans, although one gene (atp8) commonly found in other phyla is absent from flatworms.

Developmental diversity in free-living flatworms [PDF]
EvoDevo, 2012 Flatworm embryology has attracted attention since the early beginnings of comparative evolutionary biology. Considered for a long time the most basal bilaterians, the Platyhelminthes (excluding Acoelomorpha) are now robustly placed within the Spiralia ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Because parasites have an inextricable relationship with their host, they have the potential to serve as viral reservoirs or facilitate virus host shifts.
