Metagonimus is a genus of trematodes, or fluke worms, in the family Heterophyidae.
It is a parasite causing metagonimiasis.
There are 8 species [2] within the genus Metagonimus include:
Daimyo were powerful Japanese magnates, feudal lords who, from the 10th century to the early Meiji period in the middle 19th century, ruled most of Japan from their vast, hereditary land holdings. They were subordinate to the shogun and nominally to the emperor and the kuge. In the term, dai (大) means 'large', and myō stands for myōden (名田), meaning 'private land'.
Neritoidea is a taxonomic superfamily of mostly sea snails, nerites and their allies, marine gastropod mollusks in the order Cycloneritida.
Metagonimoides oregonensis is a trematode, or fluke worm, in the family Heterophyidae. This North American parasite is found primarily in the intestines of raccoons, American minks, frogs in the genus Rana, and freshwater snails in the genus Goniobasis. It was first described in 1931 by E. W. Price. The parasite has a large distribution, from Oregon to North Carolina. Adult flukes vary in host range and morphology dependent on the geographical location. This results in different life cycles, as well as intermediate hosts, across the United States. On the west coast, the intermediate host is freshwater snails (Goniobasis), while on the east coast the intermediate host is salamanders (Desmognathus). The parasites on the west coast are generally much larger than on the east coast. For example, the pharynx as well as the body of the parasite are distinctly larger in Oregon than in North Carolina. The reverse pattern is observed on the east coast for uterine eggs, which are larger on the west coast. In snails, there is also a higher rate of infection in female snails than in males. Research on the life history traits of the parasites have been performed with hamsters and frogs as model species.
Tugaske is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Huron No. 223 and Census Division No. 7. It is nicknamed Gateway to Lake Diefenbaker. It is near Eyebrow Lake, a prairie lake in the Qu'Appelle Valley. It was named after an eyebrow-shaped hill also in the Qu'Appelle Valley above Eyebrow Lake. The lake, which is 9 km long and 1 km wide, is a bird sanctuary and is near Highway 627.
Acanthotrema cursitans is a species of fluke in the genus Acanthotrema. It infects the marsh rice rat Oryzomys palustris, the raccoon Procyon lotor, the Virginia opossum Didelphis virginiana, the snail Cerithidea scalariformis, and killifishes of the genus Fundulus on the Gulf Coast of Florida. It was first described as Cercaria cursitans in 1961, then moved to Stictodora in 1974, and to Acanthotrema in 2003.
Heterophyidae is a family of intestinal trematodes in the order Plagiorchiida.
Haplorchis is a genus of intestinal flukes in the family Heterophyidae.
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.
Semisulcospira libertina is a species of freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Semisulcospiridae. Widespread in east Asia, it lives in China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and the Philippines. In some countries it is harvested as a food source. It is medically important as a vector of clonorchiasis, paragonimiasis, metagonimiasis and others.
Metagonimus yokogawai, or the Yokogawa fluke, is a species of a trematode, or fluke worm, in the family Heterophyidae.
Semisulcospira reiniana is a species of freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Semisulcospiridae.
Metagonimus miyatai is a species of a trematode, or fluke worm, in the family Heterophyidae.
Metagonimus takahashii is a species of a trematode, or fluke worm, in the family Heterophyidae.
Heterophyes is a genus of trematodes, or fluke worms, in the family Heterophyidae.
Neoplagioporus is a genus of trematodes in the family Opecoelidae.
Stellantchasmus is a genus of trematodes in the family Heterophyidae.
Acanthotrema is a genus of trematodes in the family Heterophyidae.
Tonokōri Castle was a Sengoku period yamajiro-style Japanese castle located in the Tonokōri neighborhood of the city of Saito, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. It was also known as Ukibune Castle (浮船城). Its ruins have been protected as a National Historic Site since 2000.
