The Structure of Some Frog Trematodes: Thesis (Classic Reprint)

This book sets the foundation for understanding the enigmatic parasitic worms that cause lung infections in frogs. The author examines ten distinct species of these flukes, offering detailed descriptions of each, including Haematoloechus medioplexus, which was long mistaken for a different species. Through extensive analysis of preserved specimens, the author corrects previous misconceptions and provides valuable insights into the structure, biology, and distribution of these lung flukes. These insights contribute to our knowledge of frog parasites and expand the understanding of this important group of organisms that impact the health and ecosystem of frogs.
