Summary
This is the third of three volumes of Keys to the Trematoda, a series on the systematics and identification of the Class Trematoda.
Description
This text, in three volumes, presents a detailed revision of the systematics and taxonomy of the platyhelminth class Trematoda, subclasses Aspidogastrea and Digenea, with key for the identification of these parasites at the superfamily, family, subfamily and generic levels. The trematodes are parasitic worms infecting all vertebrate groups ad include families of significance to human and animal health, with considerable economic impact. The first volume covers the subclass Aspidogastrea and order Stregeida, while the second and third volume cover the orders Echinostomida and Plagiorchiida.
Critic Reviews
“"The editors and additional contributors must be congratulated on completing this project that will provide an enduring source of information for digenean taxonomists wherever they may be. Librarians can order this volume, and the earlier volumes, in the certain knowledge that it will not be replaced of superseded in the foreseeable future."”
"Keys to the Trematoda will become the standard reference on the group for many years. Given the infrequency of appearance of such large works, this is likely to remain the definitive work for the first half of this century and to find a place on book-shelves all over the planet." David Blair, School of Tropical Biology, Australia "...we consider the Keys to represent a valuable contribution to taxonomic research on trematodes...Keys to the Trematoda will undoubtedly represent an indispensable source of basic information about the systematics of these helminths." Scholz & Horak, Folia Parasitologica, 2003 "The editors and the authors have succeeded in preparing a book which is valuable to experts, practising Parasitologists and beginners, and they should be congratulated on their great success" Zdzislaw Swiderski & Boyko B. Georgiev Acta Parasitologica, 2005, 50(4)"
