Cryptogonimidae is a family of trematodes belonging to the order Plagiorchiida. [1]
Species of Cryptogonimidae are grouped into the following genera: [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.
Zoogonidae are a family of trematodes in the order Plagiorchiida.
Bucephalidae is a family of trematodes that parasitize fish. They lack suckers, having instead a muscular organ called a "rhynchus" at the front end which they use to attach to their hosts. The characteristics of the rhynchus are used to help define the genera of the family. It is one of the largest digenean families, with 25 genera containing hundreds of described species. Bucephalids are cosmopolitan, having been recorded all over the world. They are parasites of fish from freshwater, marine, and brackish water habitat types.
Apocreadiidae is a family of parasitic worms in the class Trematoda.
Haploporidae is a family of trematodes in the order Plagiorchiida.
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.
Hamacreadium is a genus of trematodes in the family Opecoelidae. It is synonymous with Olivacreadium Bilqees, 1976. Species of Hamacreadium are endoparasitic in fish such as Lethrinus Cuvier, 1829.
Cainocreadium is a genus of trematodes in the family Opecoelidae. It has been synonymised with Apopodocotyle Pritchard, 1966, Cainocreadoides Nagaty, 1956, and Emmettrema Caballero y Caballero, 1946.
Coitocaecum is a genus of trematodes in the family Opecoelidae. It has been synonymised to Ozakia Wisniewski, 1934, Paradactylostomum Zhukov, 1972 nec Toman, 1992, and Pseudocoitocaecum Bilqees, 1972.
Decemtestis is a genus of trematodes in the family Opecoelidae. It has been synonymised with Allodecemtestis Hafeezullah, 1970.
Diplobulbus is a genus of trematodes in the family Opecoelidae.
Helicometra is a genus of trematodes in the class Opecoelidae. It is synonymous with AllostenoperaBaeva, 1968, MetahelicometraYamaguti, 1971, and StenoperaManter, 1933. Its type species is H. fasciata(Rudolphi, 1819). They are distinguished by their unique spiral uterus, from which their name is derived.
Opecoelus is a genus of trematodes in the family Opecoelidae.
Opegaster is a genus of trematodes in the family Opecoelidae.
Echinostomatidae is a family of trematodes in the order Plagiorchiida, first described in 1899.
Choerodonicola is a genus of trematodes in the family Opecoelidae.
Lepocreadiidae is a family of trematodes in the order Plagiorchiida.
Derogenidae is a family of trematodes belonging to the order Plagiorchiida.
Hemiuridae is a family of trematodes belonging to the order Plagiorchiida containing 514 described species.
