In the last few decades, phylogenetic studies of the family Schistosomatidae based on molecular markers have revealed that members of the genus Orientobilharzia Dutt & Srivastava, 1955 belong within Schistosoma Weinland, 1858. In this study, the original descriptions and redescriptions of Orientobilharzia species and related revisions are reviewed, and it is confirmed that the morphological characters correspond with the results of the molecular studies. The two genera differ only in the number…

System of suborder Schistosomatida (Platyhelminthes: Trematoda)
TLDR
A new variant of system of trematode suborder Schistosomatidа order is proposed, which represents parasites of warm-blooded vertebrate animals and man parasites in reliance on their morfo-biological distinctions.
A genetically distinct Schistosoma from Radix luteola from Nepal related to Schistosoma turkestanicum: A phylogenetic study of schistosome and snail host.
Morphological and molecular confirmation of the validity of Trichuris rhinopiptheroxella in the endangered golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana)
TLDR
Molecular and morphological analysis was conducted on adult Trichuris worms obtained from a dead golden snub-nosed monkey, to better understand their taxonomic status and suggest that mt DNA could serve as a marker for future studies on the classification, evolution and molecular epidemiology of TrichURis spp.

Investigations on the distribution of Schistosoma turkestanicum Skrjabin, 1913 (Trematoda: Schistosomatidae) infection of red deer in Hungary and a combined method for the detection of S. turkestanicum eggs in droppings.
Additional geographical distribution of the Central European populations of Schistosoma turkestanicum and the detectability of their eggs in droppings were investigated in red deer samples, because…
Schistosomatoidea and Diplostomoidea.
Trematodes of the order Diplostomida are well known as serious pathogens of man, and both farm and wild animals; members of the genus Schistosoma (Schistosomatidae) are responsible for human…
The Systematics of the Trematoda.
TLDR
This chapter focuses on insights into the classification of the Digenea that have become apparent from advanced understanding of both morphological and molecular data, and a framework that has led to robust estimates of phylogeny is outlined.
Three new species of blood flukes (Digenea: Aporocotylidae) infecting pufferfishes (Teleostei: Tetraodontidae) from off Bali, Indonesia.
The systematics of the trematoda.
TLDR
This chapter focuses on insights into the classification of the Digenea that crystallised from the advanced understanding of both morphological and molecular data, and a framework that has led to robust estimates of phylogeny is outlined.
SCHISTOSOMES OF NEPAL
TLDR
The presence of schistosomes in and around Chitwan National Park (CNP) in the Terai and hilly regions of Nepal was investigated from 2007-2014, and dung samples from both domestic and wild Indian elephants were examined, and were found to beSchistosomiasis.

Schistosoma ovuncatum n. sp. (Digenea: Schistosomatidae) from northwest Thailand and the historical biogeography of Southeast Asian Schistosoma Weinland, 1858
TLDR
This is the first account in which the life-cycle has been completed in the laboratory, using cercariae shed by T. bollingi, and the resulting worms described.
The phylogeny of the Schistosomatidae based on three genes with emphasis on the interrelationships of Schistosoma Weinland, 1858
TLDR
The principal findings are that Ornithobilharzia and AustrobilHarzia form a sister group to the Schistosoma; mammalian schistosomes appear paraphyletic and 2 TrichobilharZia species, T. ocellata and T. szidati, seem to be synonymous.

EVOLUTIONARY RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THE SCHISTOSOMATIDAE (PLATYHELMINTHES: DIGENEA) AND AN ASIAN ORIGIN FOR SCHISTOSOMA
TLDR
This study provides little evidence concerning the ancestral molluscan or vertebrate schistosome host but does demonstrate that host switching has been an important feature of schistOSome evolution.
On the morphology and life history of a new mammalian blood-fluke—Ornithobilharzia dattai n.sp. (Preliminary report).
TLDR
Another new species of blood-fluke has now been found in Indian buffaloes and cattle and the morphology of the adult and of its cercaria is briefly described in this paper.
The complete mitochondrial genome of Orientobilharzia turkestanicum supports its affinity with African Schistosoma spp.
Orientobilharzia turkestanicum is a member of Schistosoma genus based on phylogenetic analysis using ribosomal DNA sequences.
Orientobilharzia turkestanicum is grouped within African schistosomes based on phylogenetic analyses using sequences of mitochondrial genes
TLDR
Phylogenetic analyses based on the cox1 and nad1 sequences revealed that O. turkestanicum is placed within the African schistosomes, and O. trinity should be considered the sister species of Schistosoma spp.
