picture info	Liolope ''Liolope'' is a monotypic genus of trematodes, or fluke worms, belonging to the family Liolopidae. The only species is ''Liolope copulans''. Baba et al. (2011) classified this species in the family Liolopidae, superfamily Diplostomoidea. Distribution This species occurs in Japan. Life cycle The first intermediate hosts of ''Liolope copulans'' include freshwater snails '' Semisulcospira libertina''.Baba T., Hosoi M., Urabe M., Shimazu T., Tochimoto T. & Hasegawa H. (2011).

picture info	Trematodes 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 — ...
