''Centrorhynchus'' is a genus of parasitic worms belonging to the family Centrorhynchidae. The genus has cosmopolitan distribution In biogeography, cosmopolitan distribution is the term for the range of a taxon that extends across all or most of the world in appropriate habitats.

Parasitic Worms
Parasitic worms, also known as helminths, are large macroparasites; adults can generally be seen with the naked eye. Many are intestinal worms that are soil-transmitted and infect the gastrointestinal tract. Other parasitic worms such as schistosomes reside in blood vessels. Some parasitic worms, including leeches and monogeneans, are ectoparasites thus, they are not classified as helminths, which are endoparasites. Parasitic worms live in and feed in living hosts. They receive nourishment and protection while disrupting their hosts' ability to absorb nutrients. This can cause weakness and disease in the host, and poses a global health and economic problem. Parasitic worms cannot reproduce entirely within their host's body; they have a life cycle that includes some stages that need to take place outside of the host. Helminths are able to survive in their mammalian hosts for many years due to their ability to manipulate the host's immune response by secreting immunomodulatory ...

Centrorhynchidae
''Centrorhynchidae'' is a family of parasitic worms. Three species of these thorny-headed worms in the genus Centrorhynchus were found to parasitize birds of prey and owls Slovakia. These hosts include '' Buteo buteo'', ''Buteo rufinus'', ''Falco tinnunculus'', ''Asio otus'', '' Strix aluco'', '' Strix uralensis'' and ''Tyto alba''. Species Centrorhynchidae contains the following species: ''Centrorhynchus'' Lühe, 1911 * ''Centrorhynchus acanthotrias'' (von Linstow, 1883) * ''Centrorhynchus albensis'' Rengaraju and Das, 1975 * ''Centrorhynchus albidus'' Meyer, 1932 * ''Centrorhynchus aluconis'' (Mueller, 1780) The complete mitochondrial genome of ''C. aluconis'' has been sequenced. * ''Centrorhynchus amini'' Khan, Muti-ur-Rahman, Bilqees and Khatoon, 2010 * ''Centrorhynchus amphibius'' Das, 1950 * ''Centrorhynchus appendiculatus'' (Westrumb, 1821) * ''Centrorhynchus asturinus'' (Johnston, 1912) * ''Centrorhynchus atheni'' Gupta and Fatma, 1983 * ''Centrorhynchus bancrofti'' (J ...

Cosmopolitan Distribution
In biogeography, cosmopolitan distribution is the term for the range of a taxon that extends across all or most of the world in appropriate habitats. Such a taxon, usually a species, is said to exhibit cosmopolitanism or cosmopolitism. The extreme opposite of a cosmopolitan species is an endemic one, being found only in a single geographical location. Qualification The caveat “in appropriate habitat” is used to qualify the term "cosmopolitan distribution", excluding in most instances polar regions, extreme altitudes, oceans, deserts, or small, isolated islands. For example, the housefly is highly cosmopolitan, yet is neither oceanic nor polar in its distribution. Related terms and concepts The term pandemism also is in use, but not all authors are consistent in the sense in which they use the term; some speak of pandemism mainly in referring to diseases and pandemics, and some as a term intermediate between endemism and cosmopolitanism, in effect regarding pandemism as ...

Polymorphida
Polymorphida are an order of thorny-headed worms (phylum Acanthocephala). The adults of these parasitic platyzoans feed mainly on fish and aquatic birds. This order contains 5 families:Huston, D.
