species of trematode

Plagiorchiida is a large order of trematodes, synonymous to Echinostomida. They belong to the Digenea, a large subclass of flukes. This order contains relatively few significant parasites of humans.

Opisthorchiidae is a family of digenean trematodes. Opisthorchiidae have cosmopolitan distribution.

Dicrocoeliidae is a family of flatworms belonging to the order Plagiorchiida.

Paragonimus is a genus of flukes (trematodes) and is the only genus in the monotypic family Paragonimidae. Some tens of species have been described, but they are difficult to distinguish, so it is not clear how many of the named species may be synonyms. The name Paragonimus is derived from the combination of two Greek words, “para” (on the side of) and “gonimos” (gonads or genitalia). Several of the species are known as lung flukes. In humans some of the species occur as zoonoses; the term for the condition is paragonimiasis. The first intermediate hosts of Paragonimus include at least 54 spec

Cryptogonimidae is a family of trematodes belonging to the order Plagiorchiida.

Allocreadiidae is a family of flatworms belonging to the order Plagiorchiida. In their adult stage they parasitize teleosts through their digestive system; they can also parasitize other vertebrates in freshwater ecosystems such as frogs, salamanders, and snakes. Allocreadiidae are distinguished from other Trematoda in the cercarial stage, where the cercaria have both an eye-spot and a stylet. The cercaria of Allocreadiidae also develop in lamellibranchs, whereas many other trematodes develop in gastropods.

The Prosthogonimidae are a family of trematodes. They are part of the huge of the suborder Xiphidiata in the order Plagiorchiida. The adults of these parasites occur in the bursa of Fabricius, caecum, cloaca, liver, oviduct and sometimes even under the nictitating membrane of vertebrates and particularly birds.

Gastrodiscoides is genus of zoonotic trematode under the class Trematoda. It has only one species, Gastrodiscoides hominis. It is a parasite of a variety of vertebrates, including humans. The first definitive specimen was described from a human subject in 1876. It is prevalent in Bangladesh, India, Burma, China, Kazakhstan, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Volga Delta of Russia, with isolated cases from Africa, such as Nigeria. It is especially notable in the Assam, Bengal, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh states of India.

Microphallidae is a family of trematodes (flukes).

Bucephalidae is a family of trematodes that parasitize fish. They lack suckers, having instead a muscular organ called a "rhynchus" at the front end which they use to attach to their hosts. The characteristics of the rhynchus are used to help define the genera of the family. It is one of the largest digenean families, with 25 genera containing hundreds of described species. Bucephalids are cosmopolitan, having been recorded all over the world. They are parasites of fish from freshwater, marine, and brackish water habitat types.

Acanthocolpidae is a family of trematodes belonging to the order Plagiorchiida.

Echinostoma is a genus of trematodes (flukes), which can infect both humans and other animals. These intestinal flukes have a three-host life cycle with snails or other aquatic organisms as intermediate hosts, and a variety of animals, including humans, as their definitive hosts.
