Persistence of Nocturnality in Decapitated and Bisected Flatworms
The ability of flatworms to regenerate entire brain structures, and indeed much of their body from mere fragments of the whole animal, presents the unique opportunity to observe the development of day-night rhythms in adult animals.

Transcriptional signatures of somatic neoblasts and germline cells in Macrostomum lignano
The regeneration-capable flatworm Macrostomum lignano is a powerful model organism to study the biology of stem cells in vivo. As a flatworm amenable to transgenesis, it complements the historically used planarian flatworm models, such as Schmidtea ...

Atp8 is in the ground pattern of flatworm mitochondrial genomes
Background To date, mitochondrial genomes of more than one hundred flatworms (Platyhelminthes) have been sequenced. They show a high degree of similarity and a strong taxonomic bias towards parasitic lineages.

Variable host responses mediate host preference in marine flatworm-snail symbioses.
Host preference of symbionts evolves from fitness trade-offs. However, it is often unclear how interspecific variations in host response traits influence this evolutionary process.

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

Compositional Analysis of Flatworm Genomes Shows Strong Codon Usage Biases Across All Classes
In the present work, we performed a comparative genome-wide analysis of 22 species representative of the main clades and lifestyles of the phylum Platyhelminthes.

Live large flatworm in intestine
A 40-year male presented to the emergency department with the complaints of fatigue that had progressively worsened over the period of 3 months. He had recently emigrated from Mexico, where he worked on a farm and eaten raw watercress. Clinical examination revels pallor of oral mucosa.

Disease is an important factor in fisheries, affecting both wild and cultured species. Using standard parasitological techniques we determined the prevalence, mean intensity and abundance of endoparasites from 250 specimens of two cichlids, Oreochromis ...

Evolutionary analysis of mitogenomes from parasitic and free-living flatworms. [PDF]
Mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) are useful and relatively accessible sources of molecular data to explore and understand the evolutionary history and relationships of eukaryotic organisms across diverse taxonomic levels.
