Abstract
Trematode parasites occur in the intestinal tract of most types of domesticated livestock and also in wild animals, including those in zoological collections. However, with the main exception of paramphistomes in ruminants, they tend to occur in relatively small numbers and even then in only a small proportion of those hosts of major veterinary importance. They occur with greater frequency in birds and rodents and in some cases these hosts form reservoirs of infection for man or his domestic animals. This happens mainly because trematodes tend to have little host specificity as adults and are therefore often reported in unusual hosts, usually in small numbers.
