Taxonomy of 37-collar spined Echinostoma (Trematoda: Echinostomatidae) in studies on the population regulation in experimental rodent hosts.

Abstract

With reference to a recent taxonomic revision the species of the echinostomes used in key studies on the population regulation in infections with 37-collar-spined Echinostoma species in experimental rodent hosts were reconsidered. This was considered essential to prevent taxonomic problems blocking further fruitful progress within this field of experimental parasitology.
