“…We recovered the specimens (N 5 2) from section II of small intestine. Some measurements of P. oxyurus from our study are smaller than those described by Fernandes et al (2007), whose measurements were based on 8 specimens (body size [2.643-3.286 3 0.893-0.929 vs. 5.17-7.65 3 1.92-2.25], oral sucker [0.243-0.336 3 0.214-0.286 vs. 0.430-0.520 3 0.350-0.450], pharynx [0.157-0.164 3 0.129-0.164 vs. 0.300-0.370 3 0.170-0.320], and 3 Corresponding author.…”

“…Psilochasmus oxyurus is cosmopolitan and widespread. In Brazil, it has been reported from the whitecheeked pintail Anas bahamensis Linnaeus, 1758 (Travassos, 1921); and from the greylag goose Anser anser Linnaeus, 1758 (Fernandes et al, 2007). In Argentina, it has been reported from the brownhooded gull Larus maculipennis Lichtenstein, 1823 (Labriola and Suriano, 2001); and Szidat (1957) experimentally described the life cycle by using chickens Gallus gallus Linnaeus, 1758, as definitive host.…”

Four species of digeneans were recovered from 1 specimen of Himantopus melanurus (Aves: Recurvirostridae) from Bahı ´a Blanca estuary, Argentina. Digeneans were assigned to Psilochasmus oxyurus (Psilostomidae), Pygidiopsis crassus (Heterophyidae), Ascocotyle (Ascocotyle) felippei (Heterophyidae), and Levinseniella cruzi (Microphallidae). Psilochasmus oxyurus and A. (A.) felippei have been reported from other species of hosts, mostly from South America, but this is the southernmost report for these species. Levinseniella cruzi has been reported from H. melanurus from Mar Chiquita lagoon, to the north of Bahı ´a Blanca estuary. This is the first report of P. crassus parasitizing a natural host.

“…Psilochasmus oxyurus was first described as Distoma oxyurum Creplin, 1825 in Anas spp. from the Baltic Sea (Creplin 1825), and many other reports have followed since then (Fernandes et al 2007). In the Bahía Blanca estuary, other birds could be parasitized with P. oxyurus apart from the one reported, the white-backed stilt…”

“…In the present study, we found the metacercaria encysted between the mantle and the shell of H. australis. Psilochasmus oxyurus is a cosmopolitan and widespread parasite species-or possibly a species complex-of birds (Fernandes et al 2007).

Larval trematodes infecting the snail Heleobia australis (Cochliopidae) from the Bahía Blanca estuary, Argentina were surveyed for two years. A total of 7,504 snail specimens was dissected and the larval stages of 15 different trematodes were recovered and examined morphologically. These larvae included four species that had previously been reported from H. australis in Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina: the heterophyid Ascocotyle (Phagicola) longa and the microphallids, Maritrema bonaerense, Maritrema orensense, and Microphallus simillimus. Three other species, the echinostomatid Stephanoprora uruguayensis, the microphallid Levinseniella cruzi, and the psilostomid Psilochasmus oxyurus are reported here for the first time as parasites of H. australis. Eight other trematodes found in H. australis are described and placed in the appropriate superfamilies, families or genera (Cryptogonimidae, Apocreadiidae, Aporocotylidae, Notocotylidae, Haploporidae, Renicolidae, Himasthla, and Renicola). The prevalence of the trematode taxa infecting H. australis in the Bahía Blanca estuary was low (<3%) with a single exception (M. simillimus; >20%). Microphallidae were the richest and the most prevalent family, probably because of the high abundance of crabs -the second-intermediate hosts of certain microphallid species -and the considerable diversity of gulls. Here we compare the parasite assemblage found in the H. australis from Bahía Blanca estuary with other parasite assemblages infecting Heleobia spp. and other rissooids from the rest of the world.

Trematodes are one of the most numerous and widespread groups of parasitic invertebrates among helminths, characterized by a complex life cycle. As the final host, digenetic flukes parasitize vertebrates, including domestic waterfowl. Infection of hosts with parasitic digenetic worms causes huge economic damage to poultry. But trematode fauna of domestic geese are presented mainly only for individual regions. Despite the fact that there is already a systematic review of tapeworms and acanthocephala of domestic birds – geese and ducks, there are, unfortunately, no review articles on the taxonomy of digenetic flukes for geese (Anser anser dom.). Taking into account the relevance of the topic, based on our own and extensive literature data, we set the task to determine the general species composition of digenetic flukes (Trematoda), parasitizing in domestic geese which have been recorded in the world until 2020. Each Trematoda species is provided with the following data: scientific name, authority and year, first, second intermediate, auxiliary and final hosts, site in the host body, collecting localities and geographic distribution, and literature sources. Currently it is established that there are 149 species of helminths parasitising domestic geese. The taxonomic composition of the class Trematoda registered in domestic geese consists of 2 classes, 14 families, 30 genera and 65 species. Of all the species of trematodes parasitizing in domestic geese, 44 species have been recorded in Europe, 26 species in Asia, 6 species in North America, 1 species in South America, 1 species in Africa and 2 species in Oceania. Three species are registered in domestic geese (Echinoparyphium recurvatum, Echinostoma revolutum, Prosthogonimus ovatus) are cosmopolitan parasites. The biggest species diversity is characterized by the families Echinostomatidae (17 species) and Notocotylidae (12 species). There are 11 species of digenetic flukes recorded in domestic geese Cyclocoelum mutabile, Echinostoma grande, E. paraulum, E. revolutum, E. robustum, Hypoderaeum conoideum, Paryphostomum novum, P. pentalobum, Catatropis verrucosa, Notocotylus attenuatus, N. parviovatus) on the territory of Azerbaijan. Four of them (Echinostoma revolutum, Hypoderaeum conoideum, Paryphostomum novum, Notocotylus attenuatus) were also noted in the course of our helminthological studies. The trematode Cyclocoelum mutabile was recorded in domestic ducks only in Azerbaijan. Most species of trematodes were found in the north-eastern part (total 9 species) and southern part (total 5 species) of Azerbaijan. This is due to the widespread distribution of molluscs – intermediate hosts of digenetic flukes, in these regions. Eighteen species of digenetic flukes parasitize both birds and mammals (Rodentia, Carnivora, Lagomorpha, Artiodactyla). And eleven species of trematodes are of medical importance, registered in humans.
