- 1 February 2007
Four types of tetraphyllidean larvae infect cetaceans worldwide: two plerocercoids differing in size, 'small' (SP) and 'large' (LP), and two merocercoids referred to as Phyllobothrium delphini and… Expand
STATUS OF CORYNOSOMA (ACANTHOCEPHALA: POLYMORPHIDAE) BASED ON ANATOMICAL, ECOLOGICAL, AND PHYLOGENETIC EVIDENCE, WITH THE ERECTION OF PSEUDOCORYNOSOMA N. GEN

- 1 June 2006
The possession of genital spines has been considered as a key taxonomic trait to differentiate Corynosoma from other genera of the Polymorphidae. However, Corynosoma currently consists of 2 groups of… Expand
Morphological and molecular characterization of tetraphyllidean merocercoids (Platyhelminthes: Cestoda) of striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) from the Western Mediterranean.
