Abstract

Trematodiasis is a group of diseases caused by endoparasites and ectoparasites that belong to monogenea, aspidogastraea, and digenea of trematoda, a class within phylum Platyhelminthes. The trematodes of monogenea and aspidogastraea mainly parasitize in fish, amphibians, reptiles, mollusks and crustaceans. And the digenetic trematodes of digenea also parasitize in in mammals and birds. Trematodes the parasitize in human body are categorized into digenea, which is known as digenetic trematodes. Although digenetic trematodes have diversifying species, varying shapes, and complex life cycle, their basic structure and development share similarities.
