Trematodes of Animals and Man: Fundamentals of Trematodology (Trematody Zhivotnykh i Cheloverka: Osnovy Trematodologii)

摘要

The book proposes a radical reconstruction of the taxonomy of two trematode families--Dicrocoeliidae and Renicolidae (by K. I. Skryabin), and an entirely new revision of the family Pleurogenidae (by I. A. Khotenovskii). The family Dicrocoeliidae has already been reviewed in Volume VII of this monograph. Since the publication of this work valuable new data have been obtained by Yamaguti, necessitating a reassessment of the taxa in this group. On the basis of data collected by Odening (1962) the family Renicolidae Dollfus, 1929 has also been extensively revised. Nearly every species described in this book has been illustrated. Like the preceding volumes of this monograph, the present one makes it possible for interested parties to identify any trematode of the three families discussed at the species level.
