Ichthyostraca is a class of parasitic crustaceans. It is composed of two subclasses; Pentastomida and Branchiura. They mainly parasitize various vertebrates and feed on their blood or mucus. [2] [3]
The roe deer, also known as the roe, western roe deer, or European roe, is a species of deer. The male of the species is sometimes referred to as a roebuck. The roe is a small deer, reddish and grey-brown, and well-adapted to cold environments. The species is widespread in Europe, from the Mediterranean to Scandinavia, from Scotland to the Caucasus, and east as far as northern Iran.
Capreolus is a genus of deer, the roe deer.
The family Argulidae, whose members are commonly known as carp lice or fish lice, are parasitic crustaceans in the class Ichthyostraca. It is the only family in the monotypic subclass Branchiura and the order Arguloida, although a second family, Dipteropeltidae, has been proposed. Although they are thought to be primitive forms, they have no fossil record.
The Siberian roe deer, eastern roe deer, or Asian roe deer, is a species of roe deer found in northeastern Asia. In addition to Siberia and Mongolia, it is found in Kazakhstan, the Tian Shan Mountains of Kyrgyzstan, eastern Tibet, the Korean Peninsula and forested regions of northern China.
The Pentastomida are an enigmatic group of parasitic arthropods commonly known as tongue worms due to the resemblance of the species of the genus Linguatula to a vertebrate tongue; molecular studies point to them being highly-derived crustaceans.
Richard Heymons was a German zoologist and entomologist.
Parasitic worm, also known as helminth, is large macroparasite.
Linguatula serrata is a species of cosmopolitan zoonotic parasite, belonging to the tongueworm order Pentastomida. They are wormlike parasites of the respiratory systems of vertebrates. They live in the nasopharyngeal region of mammals. Cats, dogs, foxes, and other carnivores are normal hosts of this parasite. Apparently, almost any mammal is a potential intermediate host.
Porocephalus crotali is a parasitic crustacean from the group Pentastomida, also known as tongue worms.
Dipteropeltis hirundo is a little-known species of fish louse. It is an ectoparasite of fish found in South America, including piranhas and barred sorubim.
Linguatulosis is a condition associated with the organism Linguatula serrata.
Porocephaliasis is a condition associated with species in the closely related genera Porocephalus and Armillifer.
Cephenemyia ulrichii or the moose botfly, also called the elk botfly, moose nose botfly or moose throat botfly, is a large botfly that resembles a bumblebee. In the wild, they attack chiefly the nostrils and pharyngeal cavity of moose, but have been found in other deer species. There have also been several cases of C. ulrichii squirting their larvae into the eyes of human beings, a somewhat painful event that requires medical attention to forestall any possibility of serious damage.
Citharus linguatula, the spotted flounder or Atlantic spotted flounder, is a species of fish in the Citharidae, a family of flounders. It is native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, where it is found to a depth of 300 m (980 ft). This species grows to a total length of 30 cm (12 in). It is of minor importance to local commercial fisheries. This species is the only known member of its monotypic genus.
Oligostraca is a superclass of crustaceans. It consist of the following three classes:
Halzoun (Arabic:حلزون) is the local name of a buccopharyngeal infection occurring in Lebanon, probably caused by pentastomida larvae of Linguatula serrata which wander into the throat of the human host after ingestion of infected raw liver or lymph nodes from sheep or goats. The word Halzoun means "Snail" in Arabic.
Raillietiella teagueselfi is a species of parasitic crustacean. Raillietiella in general are found in tropical and sub-tropical regions and adults affect the lungs of reptiles and amphibians.
