Trematode
Trematoda is a class of flatworms known as flukes. They are obligate internal parasites with a complex life cycle requiring at least two hosts. The intermediate host, in which asexual reproduction occurs, is usually a snail. The definitive host, where the flukes sexually reproduce, is a vertebrate. Infection by trematodes can cause disease in all five traditional vertebrate classes: mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and fish. Etymology Trematodes are commonly referred to as flukes. This term can be traced back to the Old English name for flounder, and refers to the flattened, rhomboidal shape of the organisms. Taxonomy There are 18,000 to 24,000 known species of trematodes, divided into two subclasses — the Aspidogastrea and the Digenea. Aspidogastrea is the smaller subclass, comprising 61 species. These flukes mainly infect bivalves and bony fishes.https://www.biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.3918.3.2 Digenea — which comprise the majority of trematodes — ...

Brachylaimidae
Brachylaimidae is a family of parasitic flukes in the sub-class Digenea. Adults are usually found within the digestive tracts and other organs of mammals or birds and have a complex three-stage life cycle.Olson, P. D.; Cribb, T. H.; Tkach, V. V.; Bray, R. A.; Littlewood, D. T. J. (2003). "Phylogeny and classification of the Digenea (Platyhelminthes: Trematoda)". ''International Journal for Parasitology'' 33(7): 733–755. Characteristics The adult body is elongate or occasionally oval or subglobular. sometimes with fine spines. The suckers are well-developed and usually at the anterior end. There is usually a prepharynx, the pharynx is muscular, the oesophagus, if present, is short and the caeca long, terminating near the posterior end. The gonads are posterior to the ventral sucker and the genital pore opens on the ventral surface. Hosts Adult flukes in this family are found in mammals, birds and occasionally amphibians. There are two intermediate hosts, both terrestrial mollu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cochlicella Acuta
''Cochlicella acuta'', common name the pointed snail, is a species of small but very high- spired, air-breathing land snail, a pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Geomitridae. MolluscaBase eds. (2020). MolluscaBase. Cochlicella acuta (O. F. Müller, 1774). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=426379 on 2020-08-25 Distribution This species is native to parts of Europe. It inhabits south-western Europe including Spain, Portugal, Italy, and western Europe including France, Belgium, Netherlands and the British Isles. In the British Isles it lives in dunes, sandhills, and grassy downs close to the sea, chiefly in the south and west of England, Wales, on islands off the west coast of Scotland, and along the Irish coast. It is extremely abundant in some areas.Step E. 1901''Shell life: an introduction to the British Mollusca'' London, New York, F. Warne & co., page 362. The species has been introduced in the east ...

Cernuella Virgata
''Cernuella virgata'', also known as ''Helicella virgata'', common name, the "vineyard snail", is a species of small, air-breathing land snail, a pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Geomitridae.MolluscaBase eds.

Theba Pisana
''Theba pisana'', common names the white garden snail, sand hill snail, white Italian snail, Mediterranean coastal snail, and simply just the Mediterranean snail, is an edible species of medium-sized, air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Helicidae, the typical snails. This species is native to the Mediterranean region, but it has become an invasive species in many other countries. ''Theba pisana'' is a well-known agricultural pest in numerous parts of the world. The shell color varies from white to yellow-brown with light brown spiral markings. Distribution The species is native to the Mediterranean region. The type locality is Italy. The distribution of ''Theba pisana'' includes the Mediterranean region and adjacent Atlantic coasts from central Morocco to north western Europe: * Morocco * Portugal * In Spain occasionally also in the interior.

Plagiorchiida
Plagiorchiida is a large order of trematodes, synonymous to Echinostomida. They belong to the Digenea, a large subclass of flukes. This order contains relatively few significant parasites of humans.
