molecular phylogeny of the families campulidae and nasitrematidae (trematoda) based on mtdna sequence comparison.	historically, the systematic arrangement of the genera within the family campulidae, and its relationship with its allied family nasitrematidae have been rather confused, particularly because only adult morphology has been available to classical taxonomic analysis. in this paper we provide a partial phylogeny of the genera of these families based on mtdna from five campulid species: campula oblonga, zalophotrema atlanticum, hadwenius tursionis, oschmarinella rochebruni and orthosplanchnus frater ...	1998	9650057
host specificity of oschmarinella rochebruni and brachycladium atlanticum (digenea: brachycladiidae) in five cetacean species from western mediterranean waters.	we investigated patterns of specificity of liver flukes (fam. brachycladiidae) in a community of cetaceans from the western mediterranean. the liver and pancreas of 103 striped dolphins, stenella coeruleoalba, 18 risso's dolphins, grampus griseus, 14 bottlenose dolphins, tursiops truncatus, 8 common dolphins, delphinus delphis, and 5 long-finned pilot whales, globicephala melas, were analysed for brachycladiid species. two species were found: oschmarinella rochebruni in striped dolphins (prevale ...	2011	20359374
intestinal helminth fauna of bottlenose dolphin tursiops truncatus and common dolphin delphinus delphis from the western mediterranean.	we report on the intestinal helminth fauna of 15 bottlenose dolphins tursiops truncatus and 6 short-beaked common dolphins delphinus delphis from the western mediterranean. eight helminth species were found in bottlenose dolphin, i.e., the digeneans synthesium tursionis, brachycladium atlanticum, and pholeter gastrophilus, the nematode anisakis sp., and the cestodes tetrabothrius forsteri, diphyllobothrium sp., strobilocephalus triangularis, and tetraphyllidean plerocercoids. brachycladium atlan ...	2013	23186358
evolutionary relationships between digeneans of the family brachycladiidae odhner, 1905 and their marine mammal hosts: a cophylogenetic study.	cophylogenetic studies examine the congruence between host and parasite phylogenies. there are few studies that quantify the relative contribution of coevolutionary events, i.e. duplication, loss, failure-to-diverge, host-switching and spreading in trophically-transmitted parasites at the marine realm. we addressed this issue in the brachycladiidae, a cosmopolitan digenean family specific to marine mammals. we used, for the first time, distance-based and event-based methods to explicitly test th ...	2016	26721312
