This book, in three volumes, presents a detailed revision of the
systematics and taxonomy of the platyhelminth class Trematoda,
subclasses Aspidogastrea and Digenea, with keys for the
identification of these parasites at the superfamily, family, subfamily
and generic levels.
The trematodes are parasitic worms infecting all vertebrate groups and
include families of significance to human and animal health, with
considerable economic impact. Volume 1 covers the subclass
Aspidogastrea and order Strigeida, while the second and third
volumes will cover the orders Echinostomida and Plagiorchiida.
