	Accacoelium Contortum ''Accacoelium contortum'' is a parasitic flatworm of the class Trematoda. It lives in the gills and oral cavity of the ocean sunfish, '' Mola mola'', and was first described by Swedish-born naturalist Karl Rudolphi in 1819. ''Accacoelium contortum'' is the type-species of the family Accacoeliidae and the only known species of the genus ''Accacoelium.'' ''Accacoelium contortum'' is one of the most common sunfish parasites and has been reported in the Mediterranean Sea, the Northeast Atlantic Ocean and the South Pacific. In a study in Spain, 47.2% of 106 sunfish examined were found to host ''Accacoelium contortum.'' Most trematodes are internal parasites (endoparasites), but ''Accacoelium contortum'' is also found on the outside of its host. It has an elongated body with oral and ventral suckers and papillate anterior. It lacks the hooks and clamps found on most other external parasites, and instead attaches using the ventral sucker. The parasite also developed a strong ventr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Flatworms The flatworms, flat worms, Platyhelminthes, or platyhelminths (from the Greek πλατύ, ''platy'', meaning "flat" and ἕλμινς (root: ἑλμινθ-), ''helminth-'', meaning "worm") are a phylum of relatively simple bilaterian, unsegmented, soft-bodied invertebrates. Unlike other bilaterians, they are acoelomates (having no body cavity), and have no specialized circulatory and respiratory organs, which restricts them to having flattened shapes that allow oxygen and nutrients to pass through their bodies by diffusion. The digestive cavity has only one opening for both ingestion (intake of nutrients) and egestion (removal of undigested wastes); as a result, the food cannot be processed continuously. In traditional medicinal texts, Platyhelminthes are divided into Turbellaria, which are mostly non-parasitic animals such as planarians, and three entirely parasitic groups: Cestoda, Trematoda and Monogenea; however, since the turbellarians have since been proven not to be ...
