The emergence of molecular systematics at the end of the twentieth century provided a new class of data with which to revisit hypotheses based on interpretations of morphology and life ADVANCES IN history.

Literature reviews of all references concerning the parasitic fauna of fishes in fish farms of Babylon province, middle of Iraq, showed that a total of 92 valid parasite species are so far known from the common carp (Cyprinus carpio), the grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), and the silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) as well as from three freshwater fish speciesCarassius ( auratus, Liza abu,andHeteropneustes fossilis) which were found in some fish farms of the same province. The parasitic fauna included one mastigophoran, three apicomplexans, 13 ciliophorans, five myxozoans, five trematodes, 45 monogeneans, five cestodes, three nematodes, two acanthocephalans, nine arthropods, and one mollusc.

Leeches As the Intermediate Host for Strigeid Trematodes: Genetic
Pyrka et al. Parasites Vectors (2021) 14:44 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-020-04538-9 Parasites & Vectors RESEARCH Open Access Leeches as the intermediate host for strigeid trematodes: genetic diversity and taxonomy of the genera Australapatemon Sudarikov, 1959 and Cotylurus Szidat, 1928 Ewa Pyrka1, Gerard Kanarek2* , Grzegorz Zaleśny3 and Joanna Hildebrand1 Abstract Background: Leeches (Hirudinida) play a signifcant role as intermediate hosts in the circulation of trematodes in the aquatic environment. However, species richness and the molecular diversity and phylogeny of larval stages of strigeid trematodes (tetracotyle) occurring in this group of aquatic invertebrates remain poorly understood. Here, we report our use of recently obtained sequences of several molecular markers to analyse some aspects of the ecology, taxon- omy and phylogeny of the genera Australapatemon and Cotylurus, which utilise leeches as intermediate hosts. Methods: From April 2017 to September 2018, 153 leeches were collected from several sampling stations in small rivers with slow-fowing waters and related drainage canals located in three regions of Poland. The distinctive forms of tetracotyle metacercariae collected from leeches supplemented with adult Strigeidae specimens sampled from a wide range of water birds were analysed using the 28S rDNA partial gene, the second internal transcribed spacer region (ITS2) region and the cytochrome c oxidase (COI) fragment. Results: Among investigated leeches, metacercariae of the tetracotyle type were detected in the parenchyma and musculature of 62 specimens (prevalence 40.5%) with a mean intensity reaching 19.9 individuals. The taxonomic generic afliation of metacercariae derived from the leeches revealed the occurrence of two strigeid genera: Aus- tralapatemon Sudarikov, 1959 and Cotylurus Szidat, 1928. -

[ 1 ]. Members of the superfamilies Schistosomatoidea (Schistosomatidae, Aporocotylidae, and Spirorchiidae) and Diplostomoidea (Diplostomidae and Strigeidae) will be characterized. All these fl ukes have indirect life cycles with cercariae having ability to penetrate body surfaces of vertebrate intermediate or defi nitive hosts. In some cases, invasions of accidental (noncompat- ible) vertebrate hosts (including humans) are also reported. Penetration of the host body and/or subsequent migration to the target tissues/organs frequently induce pathological changes in the tissues and, therefore, outbreaks of infections caused by these parasites in animal farming/breeding may lead to economical losses. 10.2 Schistosomatidae Members of the family Schistosomatidae are exceptional organisms among digenean trematodes: they are gonochoristic, with males and females mating in the blood vessels of defi nitive hosts. As for other trematodes, only some members of Didymozoidae are P. Horák (*) • L.

However, little is known about the parasites of Chelonia mydas, a globally distributed endangered species, along the Brazilian coast. Here we present a review of the literature of helminth species found in green turtles along the Brazilian coast, considering their global distribution, their infection sites and their other host species. The findings show that in recent years there has been a large increase in the number of studies reporting the parasitic species of these turtles in Brazil, which consequently increased the parasite species list of the green turtle. -
Zoonotic Parasites of Dromedary Camels: So Important, So Ignored Alireza Sazmand1* , Anja Joachim2 and Domenico Otranto1,3
Sazmand et al. Parasites Vectors (2019) 12:610 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-019-3863-3 Parasites & Vectors REVIEW Open Access Zoonotic parasites of dromedary camels: so important, so ignored Alireza Sazmand1* , Anja Joachim2 and Domenico Otranto1,3 Abstract With a global population of about 35 million in 47 countries, dromedary camels play a crucial role in the economy of many marginal, desert areas of the world where they survive under harsh conditions. Nonetheless, there is scarce knowledge regarding camelsʼ parasite fauna which can reduce their milk and meat productions. In addition, only scattered information is available about zoonotic parasites transmitted to humans via contamination (e.g. Crypto- sporidium spp., Giardia duodenalis, Balantidium coli, Blastocystis spp. and Enterocytozoon bieneusi), as foodborne infections (e.g. Toxoplasma gondii, Trichinella spp. and Linguatula serrata) or by arthropod vectors (Trypanosoma spp.). Herein, we draw attention of the scientifc community and health policy-making organizations to the role camels play in the epidemiology of parasitic zoonotic diseases also in the view of an increase in their farming in desert areas worldwide.

In this study, using a survey of genomes and transcriptomes representing all free-living flatworm orders, we provide resolution of platyhelminth interrelationships based on hundreds of nuclear protein-coding genes, exploring phylogenetic signal through concatenation as well as recently developed consensus approaches. -
