DOI: 10.1017/s0022149x22000748
Abstract: Abstract The Didymozoidae (Trematoda: Hemiuroidea) is among the most speciose trematode families, known from a wide range of marine teleost fishes. Despite their richness, however, didymozoid life cycles are unusually poorly known; only two first… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182022001342
Abstract: Abstract Abstract Although Joyeuxiella pasqualei is frequently detected in cats from Mediterranean Europe, information on its biology is still scarce. This cestode is relatively less frequently reported in dogs, possibly because it is often misdiagnosed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0223257
Abstract: Angiostrongyliasis is a parasitic disease caused by nematodes of the genus Angiostrongylus. Distribution of this worm corresponds to the dispersal of its main intermediate host, the giant African land snail Achatina fulica. Genetic characterization can… read more here.

Cockle as Second Intermediate Host of Trematode Parasites: Consequences for Sediment Bioturbation and Nutrient Fluxes across the Benthic Interface
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Marine Science and Engineering"
DOI: 10.3390/jmse9070749
Abstract: Trematode parasites are distributed worldwide and can severely impact host populations. However, their influence on ecosystem functioning through the alteration of host engineering behaviours remains largely unexplored. This study focuses on a common host parasite… read more here.
