Several dozens of small trematodes were found in the small intestine of a Japanese monkey, Macaca fuscata, that was captured in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. The trematode was identified as Ogmocotyle ailuri. This is the first case of a Japanese monkey infected with Ogmocotyle trematodes, and a new host record for O. ailuri.

Abstract Data on trematode life cycles, fish host distribution, transmission, and snail infection are reported in this review. European freshwater trematodes of the genus Sanguinicola (Aporocotylidae) remain an insufficiently studied group trematodes. Five species Aporocotylidae ( armata , S. inermis intermedia volgensis rutili ) Europe described. In addition, they have been found water bodies ...

In this paper the main epidemiological aspects of the major domestic ruminant trematode infections in Zimbabwe are reviewed and discussed with regard to the available options for control. Seasonal occurrence of amphistomes, Fasciola gigantica and Schistosoma mattheei are considered both in the definitive and intermediate hosts. The regional distribution of the trematodes is reviewed in relation...

Electron microscopy has proved to be a very helpful those at posterior end consisting of powerful adhesive instrument in the study of biology in general. Since it has disks usually provided with chitinoid hooks or anchors; been invented a lot of information has accumulated in with single host, parasites of cold-blooded aquatic different aspects of biology. Studying the ultrastructure vertebrate...

Like many shorebirds, purple sandpipers ( Calidris maritima [Brünnich] Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae) have experienced population declines in recent years, but causes of these declines have not been established. As part of a larger study to identify causes of these declines, we collected and examined 25 purple sandpipers in coastal Nova Scotia, Canada during March 2013. In the course of dissect...

Marine limpets, Notoacmea scapha, were collected from an intertidal mud flat in Otago Harbour, New Zealand, and examined for infection with larval trematodes. Three separate species of trematode (opecoelid sp. A, Acanthoparyphium sp. A and Curtuteria australis) were identified from the limpets, based on molecular evidence. This is the first report of these three trematodes in limpets, indicatin...

El estudio se llevó a cabo para establecer la prevalencia e identificar los factores de riesgo asociados con las infecciones por trematodes en ganado lechero tierras altas Boyacá, Colombia. Las muestras fecales recogidas 300 bovinos seleccionados al azar examinaron utilizando una técnica sedimentación simple el recuento diferencial huevos trematodes. En estudiado fueron encontrados tres grupos ...

In January 2002, were caught 11 Makaira nigricans Lacepède, 1802 (Istiophoridae) and two Acanthocybium solandri (Cuvier, 1832) (Scombridae) off Cabo Frio municipality, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. We collected digenetic trematodes from the stomach of some of these fishes. We studied these trematodes with optical and scanning electron microscopy and identified them as Hirudinella ventricosa (Pa...
