Aquatic animal

An aquatic animal is any animal, whether vertebrate or invertebrate, that lives in water for all or most of its lifetime.

See Galactosomum and Aquatic animal

Arthur Looss

Arthur Looss (16 March 1861 – 4 May 1923) was a German zoologist and parasitologist.

Bird

Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves, characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton.

See Galactosomum and Bird

Fish

A fish (fish or fishes) is an aquatic, anamniotic, gill-bearing vertebrate animal with swimming fins and a hard skull, but lacking limbs with digits.

Galactosomum

Galactosomum is a genus of flukes in the family Heterophyidae. Galactosomum and Galactosomum are Heterophyidae, Plagiorchiida genera, Suicide-inducing parasitism and trematoda stubs.

See Galactosomum and Galactosomum

Gastropoda

Gastropods, commonly known as slugs and snails, belong to a large taxonomic class of invertebrates within the phylum Mollusca called Gastropoda.

See Galactosomum and Gastropoda

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

See Galactosomum and Genus

Heterophyidae

Heterophyidae is a family of intestinal trematodes in the order Plagiorchiida. Galactosomum and Heterophyidae are trematoda stubs.

See Galactosomum and Heterophyidae

Larva

A larva (larvae) is a distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into their next life stage.

See Galactosomum and Larva

Marine mammal

Marine mammals are mammals that rely on marine (saltwater) ecosystems for their existence.

See Galactosomum and Marine mammal

Myxobolus cerebralis

Myxobolus cerebralis is a myxosporean parasite of salmonids (salmon and trout species) that causes whirling disease in farmed salmon and trout and also in wild fish populations.

See Galactosomum and Myxobolus cerebralis

Predation

Predation is a biological interaction where one organism, the predator, kills and eats another organism, its prey.

See Galactosomum and Predation

Species

A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.

See Galactosomum and Species

Trematoda

Trematoda is a class of flatworms known as flukes or trematodes.

See Galactosomum and Trematoda

Trematode life cycle stages

Trematodes are parasitic flatworms of the class Trematoda, specifically parasitic flukes with two suckers: one ventral and the other oral.
