Allomegalocotyla is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, included in the family Capsalidae. [1] [2] All species in this genus are parasitic.
These species are currently recognized in the genus: [2]
Neobenedenia is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogenean flatworm parasites.
Rhadinorhynchidae is a family of parasitic worms from the order Echinorhynchida.
Opisthorchiidae is a family of digenean trematodes. Opisthorchiidae have cosmopolitan distribution.
Mazocraeidea is an order of flatworms in the subclass Polyopisthocotylea within the class Monogenea.
Microcotyle is a genus which belongs to the phylum Platyhelminthes and class Monogenea. Species of Microcotyle are ectoparasites that affect their host by attaching themselves as larvae on the gills of the fish and grow into adult stage. This larval stage is called oncomiracidium, and is characterized as free swimming and ciliated.
The Monopisthocotylea are a subclass of parasitic flatworms in the class Monogenea.
Opecoelidae is a family of trematodes. It is the largest digenean family with over 90 genera and nearly 900 species, almost solely found in marine and freshwater teleost fishes. It was considered by Bray et al. to belong in the superfamily Opecoeloidea Ozaki, 1925 or the Brachycladioidea Odhner, 1905.
Satyu Yamaguti was a Japanese parasitologist, entomologist, and helminthologist. He was a specialist of mosquitoes and helminths such as digeneans, monogeneans, cestodes, acanthocephalans and nematodes. He also worked on the parasitic crustaceans Copepoda and Branchiura. Satyu Yamaguti wrote more than 60 scientific papers and, more importantly, several huge monographs which are still in use by scientists all over the world and were cited over 1,000 times each.
Capsalidae is a family of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, which includes about 200 species.
Microcotylidae is a family of polyopisthocotylean monogeneans. All the species in this family are parasitic on fish.
Allobenedenia is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, included in the family Capsalidae. All species in this genus are parasitic on external surfaces of marine teleosts.
Podocotyloides is a genus of trematodes in the family Opecoelidae.
Ancyrocephalidae is a family of monogenean flatworms. The family is considered as a "temporary name" in WorMS but includes a large number of genera and species.
Lobotrema is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, belonging to the family Diplectanidae. All its species are parasites on fish. The type-species is Lobotrema madrasiTripathi, 1959.
Seitarō Gotō (1867–1935) was a Japanese scientist, known for his works on the Monogenea, a class of parasitic flatworms which are ectoparasites of fishes. He also worked on other invertebrates, such as Coelenterates and Echinoderms.
Allopseudaxine is a genus which belongs to the phylum Platyhelminthes and class Monogenea; all its species are parasites of fish.
Bivagina is a genus of monogeneans. As all Monogenea, species in the genus are ectoparasites that affect their host by attaching themselves as larvae on the gills of fish and grow into adult stage. This larval stage is called oncomiracidium, and is characterized as free swimming and ciliated.
Ancyrocephalus is a genus of flatworms belonging to the family Ancyrocephalidae.
Metacanthocephalus is a genus of worms belonging to the family Rhadinorhynchidae.
Haliotrema is a genus of flatworms belonging to the family Ancyrocephalidae.
