Abstract

Abstract: The aim of the present review was to evaluate the state of knowledge of trematodes (Platyhelminthes: Trematoda) in Chile, covering taxonomy, biology, geographic distribution, and a checklist of all taxa reported in the country. A total of 277 articles published between 1849 and December 2020, have been analyzed. A total of 215 taxa belonging to the subclasses Digenea and Aspidosgastrea have been reported from Chile, 119 of them identified to species level and only three species with completely described life cycles. Trematodes from Chile were found parasitizing both native and exotic species, however, no records from insects and most crustacean classes exist. Overall, 159 out of 3989 potential host native species were reported as hosts for trematodes. Molecular tools were used in more recent taxonomic studies. Although research on trematodes in Chile is on the rise, there is a clear need for more detailed taxonomic studies to include integrative taxonomy approach, deposition of helminths in collections and the training of new generation of parasitologists to better understand the diversity, ecology and evolutionary relationships of trematodes in the region.

智利吸虫(盘虫目:迪亚纳，吸虫目)的最新知识

摘要：本综述的目的是评估智利对吸虫的了解状况，包括分类学、生物学、地理分布和该国报告的所有分类群的清单。对1849年至2020年12月期间发表的277篇文章进行了分析。智利共报告了215个分类群，属于Digenea和Aspidosgastrea亚类，其中119个在物种水平上被鉴定，只有三个物种的生命周期被完全描述。智利的吸虫寄生在本地和外来物种中，但没有昆虫和大多数甲壳类动物的记录。总的来说，3989种潜在宿主本地物种中有159种被报告为吸虫的宿主。分子工具被用于最近的分类学研究。尽管智利对吸虫的研究正在上升，但显然需要更详细的分类学研究，包括综合分类学方法、蠕虫的收集以及培训新一代寄生虫学家，以更好地了解该地区吸虫的多样性、生态学和进化关系。
