Species:
Karl Asmund Rudolphi was a Swedish-born German naturalist, who is credited with being the "father of helminthology".
Galactosomum is a genus of flukes in the family Heterophyidae. There are currently 28 recognised species within the genus. They mainly infect aquatic birds, but often infest fish as larvae. Three species are known to use marine mammals as hosts.
Leucochloridium is a genus of parasitic trematode worms in the order Diplostomida. It Is the sole genus in the family Leucochloridiidae. Members of this genus cause pulsating swellings in the eye-stalks of snails, so as to attract the attention of predatory birds required in the parasites' lifecycle.
The blue bird-of-paradise is a beautiful, relatively large species of bird-of-paradise. It is the only species in the genus Paradisornis, but was previously included in the genus Paradisaea.
The thorny-headed worm family Polymorphidae contains endoparasites which as adults feed mainly in fish and aquatic birds. When this taxon was erected by Meyer in 1931, a subfamily Polymorphinae was established in it. As the Polymorphidae as presently understood would then be monotypic, with no basal genera outside the Polymorphinae, the proposed subfamily is redundant for the time being and therefore most modern treatments simply omit it. Polymorphus minutus is an economically significant parasite in goose and duck farming.
Echinorhynchus is a genus of acanthocephalan parasitic worms. They parasitize a wide variety of fishes from both marine and fresh waters. The intermediate host is usually a crustacean.
Oligacanthorhynchida is an order containing a single parasitic worm family, Oligacanthorhynchidae, that attach themselves to the intestinal wall of terrestrial vertebrates.
Centrorhynchidae is a family of parasitic worms. Three species of these thorny-headed worms in the genus Centrorhynchus were found to parasitize birds of prey and owls Slovakia. These hosts include Buteo buteo, Buteo rufinus, Falco tinnunculus, Asio otus, Strix aluco, Strix uralensis and Tyto alba.
Rhadinorhynchidae is a family of parasitic worms from the order Echinorhynchida.
Litozamia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Trophoninae of the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Eustrongylides is a genus of nematodes belonging to the family Dioctophymidae. The species of this genus cause eustrongylidosis.
Oligacanthorhynchus is a genus of parasitic worms belonging to the family Oligacanthorhynchidae.
Raorhynchus is a genus of worms belonging to the family Rhadinorhynchidae.
Apatemon is a genus of flatworms belonging to the family Strigeidae.
Triaenophorus is a genus of flatworms belonging to the family Triaenophoridae.
Bothriocephalus is a genus of flatworms belonging to the family Bothriocephalidae.
Dichelyne is a genus of nematodes belonging to the family Cucullanidae.
Renicola is a genus of flatworms belonging to the family Renicolidae.
Oxyuris is a genus of nematodes belonging to the family Oxyuridae.
Dermatoxys is a genus of nematodes belonging to the family Heteroxynematidae.
