Handbook of the Zoology of Amphistomes provides a comprehensive survey on the morphology ecology systematics and zoogeography of amphistomes which are a group of digenetic trematodes parasitic in vertebrates. The handbook features the special morphological characteristics of amphistomes including the structure and types of muscular organs; a short diagnosis for each species (when possible) as well as a line drawing of each adult fluke; a zoogeographical analysis including the host-parasite coevolution distributional patterns and characterization of faunas within the zoogeographical realm; and a possible evolutionary scenario based on holomorphological characteristics. Parasitologists helminthologists zoologists and biologists working with ecological associations will find this book an essential reference source for their work with amphistomes. |Revival: CRC Handbook of the Zoology of Amphistomes (1990) | Life Science
