Fish blood flukes (Digenea: Aporocotylidae) from marine fishes of South Africa, including proposal of a new genus [PDF]
Novel records of marine fish-infecting blood flukes (Aporocotylidae Odhner, 1912) were obtained from several locations across the South African coastline. These constitute the first records of aporocotylid flukes from the region.
