Theromyzon Tessellatoides
''Theromyzon'' is a genus of leeches belonging to the family Glossiphoniidae. There are about 14 described species in ''Theromyzon''. Leeches of this genus parasitize birds and are sometimes called duck leeches, although their hosts are not limited to ducks. The ''Theromyzon'' species tend to feed in the nasal cavities of waterbirds in general, from ducks to penguins. As parasites of birds, and in many cases migratory waterfowl, these leeches typically have a broad distribution range. Leeches of the ''Theromyzon'' genus have been observed in the Americas, Eurasia, and Africa.

Leech
Leeches are segmented parasitic or predatory worms that comprise the subclass Hirudinea within the phylum Annelida. They are closely related to the oligochaetes, which include the earthworm, and like them have soft, muscular segmented bodies that can lengthen and contract. Both groups are hermaphrodites and have a clitellum, but leeches typically differ from the oligochaetes in having suckers at both ends and in having ring markings that do not correspond with their internal segmentation. The body is muscular and relatively solid, and the coelom, the spacious body cavity found in other annelids, is reduced to small channels. The majority of leeches live in freshwater habitats, while some species can be found in terrestrial or marine environments. The best-known species, such as the medicinal leech, ''Hirudo medicinalis'', are hematophagous, attaching themselves to a host with a sucker and feeding on blood, having first secreted the peptide hirudin to prevent the blood from c ...

Glossiphoniidae
Glossiphoniidae are a family of freshwater proboscis-bearing leeches. These leeches are generally flattened, and have a poorly defined anterior sucker. Most suck the blood of freshwater vertebrates like amphibians, crocodilians and aquatic turtles, but some feed on invertebrates like oligochaetes and freshwater snails instead. Although they prefer other hosts, blood-feeding species will opportunistically feed from humans. There is considerable interest in the symbiotic bacteria that at least some glossiphoniids house in specialized organs called bacteriomes. The bacteria are thought to provide the leeches with nutrients that are scarce or absent from their regular diets. '' Haementeria'' as well as '' Placobdelloides'' have Enterobacteriaceae symbionts, while '' Placobdella'' harbours peculiar and independently derived alphaproteobacteria. Systematics and taxonomy The relationships between members of Glossiphoniidae are not completely understood. Some sources divide the ...
