The systematics of Diplostomum species, common intestinal parasites of piscivorous birds, has long been problematic, owing to phenotypic plasticity and the paucity of morphological features that are often subject to age- and host-induced variation. We sequenced the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 regions of the rDNA from adult Diplostomum huronense , Diplostomum indistinctum, and Diplostomum baeri obtained from experimentally infected ring-bill gulls ( Larus delawarensis) and compared them with partial ITS1…

Intercontinental distributions, phylogenetic position and life cycles of species of Apharyngostrigea (Digenea, Diplostomoidea) illuminated with morphological, experimental, molecular and genomic data.

A New Genus of Diplostomids (Digenea: Diplostomoidea) from the Nile Crocodile in South Africa with a Key to Diplostomid Genera

A new key to diplostomid genera is provided, considering the substantial systematic changes and newly erected genera since the previously published key to phytochemical affinities of these new taxa.

Another plea for ‘best practice’ in molecular approaches to trematode systematics: Diplostomum sp. clade Q identified as Diplostomum baeri Dubois, 1937 in Europe

The current study is another step in elucidating the species spectrum of Diplostomum based on integrative taxonomy with well-described morphology of adults linked to sequences and extends the recommendations of Blasco-Costa et al. (2016, Systematic Parasitology 93, 295–306) for the 'best practice' in molecular approaches to trematode systematics.

Molecular and morphological characterization of Austrodiplostomum ostrowskiae Dronen, 2009 (Digenea: Diplostomatidae), a parasite of cormorants in the Americas

A link between the metacercariae in fish and the adults in cormorants was established, indicating also that a single species is found in the distribution range comprising southern USA, southwards to Venezuela.

Diversity and specificity in Diplostomum spp. metacercariae in freshwater fishes revealed by cytochrome c oxidase I and internal transcribed spacer sequences.

Molecular, morphological and experimental assessment of the life cycle of Posthodiplostomum nanum Dubois, 1937 (Trematoda: Diplostomidae) from Brazil, with phylogenetic evidence of the paraphyly of the genus Posthodiplostomum Dubois, 1936.

Assessing the genetic diversity of the metacercariae of Posthodiplostomum minimum (Trematoda: Diplostomidae) in Middle American freshwater fishes: one species or more?

Assessment of the genetic divergence and phylogenetic relationships of metacercariae sampled from several host species in a wide geographical range across Middle America contributes to the understanding of the diversity of larval forms of diplostomids and provides an opportunity to further study their life cycles.

Morphometric and molecular analyses of Tylodelphys sp. metacercariae (Digenea: Diplostomidae) from the vitreous humour of four fish species from Lake Naivasha, Kenya

Morphometric and molecular data used to discriminate species and inferred a single unidentified species of Tylodelphys metacercariae, which is not conspecific with any other diplostomid for which comparable molecular data are available, including four species known from siluriform fish in Nigeria and Tanzania.

DNA sequences of the second internal transcribed spacer of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) were determined for 11 species from four genera of Didymozoinae and found the gonochoristic species, I. pearsoni and I. suttiei, to be genetically similar to the hermaphroditic species in the genus Indodidymozoon and found no evidence to indicate that they belong in a separate genus.
