چکیده
Two cestode species, Fimbriaria fasciolaris (Pallas, 1781) Frölich, 1802 Cloacotaenia megalops (Nitzsch in Creplin, 1829) Wolffhügel, 1938 collected from Anas bahamensis Linné, 1758 and Amazonetta brasiliensis (Gmelin, 1758) in lagoons of the Maricá District, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, are described. This is the first record of F. fasciolaris parasitizing A. bahamensis. The prevalence, intensity of infection, and mean intensity of infection for both species are given. Overdispersion distribution is reported for F. fasciolaris with 535 specimens collected in a single A. bahamensis. A key for the genera in the Fimbriariinae is presented. Anatomical features of F. fasciolaris and C. megalops are discussed.

متن کاملFauna of British India. Cestodes. Vol. I
After a full discussion of the many attempts that have been made in recent years to formulate a working classification of the Cestoda, the author of this book suggests still another. He divides the Class into tw? Orders, Cestodaria and Eucestoda, which has the merit of simplicity and consistency, in that it makes a clear division between the Monozootic and Polyzootic cestodes, and which consequ...
