Some Platyhelminths Inhabiting White-Throated Sparrows, \u3ci\u3eZonotrichia albicollis\u3c/i\u3e (Aves: Emberizidae: Emberizinae), from Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada [PDF]
, 1993 Twenty-two of 26 white-throated sparrows, Zonotrichia albicollis, from Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada, hosted one or two species of platyhelminths. One species of cestode and three of digeneans were collected. Anonchotaenia quiscali inhabited 50% of the

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 13, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract Background The giant African land snail (Lissachatina fulica), an invasive species with significant medical, agricultural and economic importance, is abundant in urban areas of Kota Samarahan, Sarawak. The proximity between humans and the snail may increase the risk of pathogen transmission.

Parasitic peptides! The structure and function of neuropeptides in parasitic worms [PDF]
, 1999 Parasitic worms come from two very different phyla-Platyhelminthes (flatworms) and Nematoda (roundworms). Although both phyla possess nervous systems with highly developed peptidergic components.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 12, June 2026.ABSTRACT Southern right whale (Eubalaena australis; SRW) populations are recovering from the impacts of commercial whaling, however, recovery has been spatially variable, with strong associations between reproduction and prey availability. The diet of SRWs has not been widely examined, and with SRW foraging shifting away from high‐latitude foraging ...

Concepts in Animal Parasitology, Chapter 15: Introduction to Endoparasitic Platyhelminths (Phylum Platyhelminthes) [PDF]
An introduction to the endoparasitic forms of platyhelminths, referred to colloquially at times as flatworms. Platyhelminths include monogeneans, cestodes (tapeworms), and trematodes (flukes). Covers their general morphology and a brief overview of their

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Monogeneans are among the most problematic ectoparasites in finfish aquaculture. Plant‐derived compounds have been widely explored as therapeutic agents, yet their efficacy and safety have not been quantitatively synthesized across studies. This study provides a meta‐analysis of plant‐based treatments against monogeneans, integrating 453 in ...

Fossil constraints on the origin and evolution of Platyhelminthes are surprisingly concordant with modern molecular phylogenies [PDF]
Zoologia (Curitiba)Trace fossils preserved with fossil worm-shaped remains suggest the presence of free-living flatworms during the Ordovician at the latest and their occurrence in terrestrial environments during the Permian.

Neuropeptide physiology in helminths [PDF]
, 2010 Parasitic worms come from two distinct, distant phyla, Nematoda (roundworms) and Platyhelminthes (flatworms). The nervous systems of worms from both phyla are replete with neuropeptides and there is ample physiological evidence that these neuropeptides ...
