trematode (sphaeridiotrema globulus)-induced ulcerative hemorrhagic enteritis in wild mute swans (cygnus olor).	ulcerative hemorrhagic enteritis of swans induced by sphaeridiotrema globulus is enzootic at lake musconetcong in northern new jersey. it accounted for a calculated 250 deaths of wild mute swans (cygnus olor) between 1970 and 1980. the swans died primarily in the winter and early spring. sites of infection included the jejunum and ileum. trematodes singly or in groups ulcerated the intestines. severe hemorrhage from damaged submucosal capillaries provided a blood meal for the parasites and proba ...	2003	6979999
sphaeridiotrema globulus and sphaeridiotrema pseudoglobulus (digenea): species differentiation based on mtdna (barcode) and partial lsu-rdna sequences.	flukes belonging to sphaeridiotrema are important parasites of waterfowl, and 2 morphologically similar species sphaeridiotrema globulus and sphaeridiotrema pseudoglobulus, have been implicated in waterfowl mortality in north america. cytochrome oxidase i (barcode region) and partial lsu-rdna sequences from specimens of s. globulus and s. pseudoglobulus, obtained from naturally and experimentally infected hosts from new jersey and quebec, respectively, confirmed that these species were distinct. ...	2011	21671715
