Allocreadium is a genus of trematodes belonging to the family Allocreadiidae. [2] [1] The genus was first described by Arthur Looss in 1900. [2] [1] The genus has almost cosmopolitan distribution. [1]
Species include the following: [2]
Digenea is a class of trematodes in the Platyhelminthes phylum, consisting of parasitic flatworms with a syncytial tegument and, usually, two suckers, one ventral and one oral. Adults commonly live within the digestive tract, but occur throughout the organ systems of all classes of vertebrates. Once thought to be related to the Monogenea, it is now recognised that they are closest to the Aspidogastrea and that the Monogenea are more closely allied with the Cestoda. Around 6,000 species have been described to date.
Plagiorchiida is a large order of trematodes, synonymous to Echinostomida. They belong to the Digenea, a large subclass of flukes. This order contains relatively few significant parasites of humans.
Echinostomata is a suborder of the parasitic flatworm order Plagiorchiida. The suborder contains numerous species that are parasitic in humans.
Opisthorchiidae is a family of digenean trematodes. Opisthorchiidae have cosmopolitan distribution.
Telorchiidae is a family of trematode parasites.
Heterophyes is a genus of trematodes, or fluke worms, in the family Heterophyidae.
Metorchis is a genus of flatworms belonging to the family Opisthorchiidae.
Echinoparyphium elegans is a species of trematode. Intermediate hosts include snails, bivalves, and fish. Definitive hosts are mainly birds and mammals.
Echinostomatidae is a family of trematodes in the order Plagiorchiida, first described in 1899.
Gorgoderidae is a family of trematodes in the order Plagiorchiida.
Xiphidiata is a suborder of Plagiorchiida, an order of parasitic flatworms (flukes).
Allocreadium isoporum is a species of Trematoda belonging to the family Allocreadiidae. It is native to Europe and Northern America.
Polyangium is a genus of flatworms belonging to the family Microscaphidiidae.
Cylicocyclus is a genus of nematodes belonging to the family Strongylidae.
Allocreadiidae is a family of flatworms belonging to the order Plagiorchiida.
Derogenidae is a family of trematodes belonging to the order Plagiorchiida.
Philophthalmus is a genus of trematodes belonging to the family Philophthalmidae.
Strongylus is a genus of nematodes belonging to the family Strongylidae.
Gorgodera is a genus of flatworms belonging to the family Gorgoderidae.
Cyathostomum is a genus of nematodes belonging to the family Strongylidae.
