Use of rDNA polymorphism for identification of Heterophyidae infecting freshwater fishes [PDF]
Infections by trematodes are among the most common fish-borne zoonoses. Metacercariae of the Family Heterophyidae in marine and freshwater fishes are nonfastidious in their choice of definitive hosts, and therefore, cause infections in human and domestic animals.

The life history of Pygidiopsis macrostomum Travassos, 1928 (Digenea: Heterophyidae) [PDF]
The life history of the trematode Pygidiopsis macrostomum Travassos, 1928 is described for the first time. Rediae and cercariae were obtained from naturally infected snails Heleobia australis (d´Orbigny), a new first intermediate host. Metacercariae were

Variation in the parasite communities of three co‐occurring herbivorous coral reef fishes
Abstract Parasites are important, diverse, and abundant components of natural ecosystems and can influence the behaviour and health of their hosts, inter‐ and intraspecific interactions, and ultimately community structure. Coral reefs are one of the world's most biodiverse ecosystems, yet our understanding of the abundance, diversity, and composition ...
