Abstract:
This review aims at covering the general aspects of the form and function of the major body systems in digenetic trematodes, with emphasis on the advances that have been made on this topic since the publication of the first edition of this book; this is since 2012. In particular, the advancement in the knowledge of form and function of tegumentary, sensory, neuromuscular, alimentary, respiratory, excretory, and reproductive systems is covered. Furthermore, a brief mention of the current trends in the targeting of trematode body systems for developing novel opportunities of treatment and control is provided.
