Riassunto

Approaches to Research on the Systematics of Fish-Borne Trematodes is a concise guide for systematic studies of the prevalence of fish-borne trematodes both in the endemic areas and experimental laboratories. It includes methods to identify species of fish-borne trematodes to enhance the precision of research studies based on the metacercarial stage. Misidentification of trematode species is a common occurrence when researchers are new to the field and have no guidance. Consequentially, sometimes publications report inaccurate prevalence rates of these parasites. This compact guide gives clear direction on: Collection of parasites in the final hostsCollection of cercaria from snail first intermediate hostsCollection of metacercaria from fish hostsMolecular identification of parasitesSystematics of fish-borne trematodes

L'autore:

JitraWaikagul has been a specialist in helminthology of the Department of Helminthology, Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, Thailand, since 1971. She holds a B.Sc. (Zoology) from Chulalongkorn University, an M.Sc. (Tropical Medicine) from Mahidol University, an M.Sc. (Parasitology) from Queensland University, Australia, and a Ph.D. (Medical Science) from Hiroshima University, Japan. Her research contributes to expanding knowledge of the biology and taxonomy of zoonotic helminthes, in particulars fish- and crustacean-borne tremotodes.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Many researchers have studied the prevalence of fish-borne trematodes both in the endemic areas and experimental laboratories. However, misidentification of species is a common occurrence when researchers are new to the field and have no guidance. Consequentially, sometimes publications report inaccurate prevalence rates of these parasites. This book is a guide for further systematic studies and includes methods on how to identify species of fish-borne trematodes endemic to enhance precision of researches studies based on the metacercarial stage
