Clamp (zoology)

Clamps are the main attachment structure of the Polyopisthocotylean monogeneans. Haptor and Clamp (zoology) are platyhelminth anatomy.

See Haptor and Clamp (zoology)

Diplectanidae

The Diplectanidae are a family of monopisthocotylean monogeneans. Haptor and Diplectanidae are monopisthocotylea.

See Haptor and Diplectanidae

Flatworm

The flatworms, flat worms, Platyhelminthes, or platyhelminths (from the Greek πλατύ, platy, meaning "flat" and ἕλμινς (root: ἑλμινθ-), helminth-, meaning "worm") are a phylum of relatively simple bilaterian, unsegmented, soft-bodied invertebrates.

See Haptor and Flatworm

Lamellodisc

Lamellodiscs are epidermal structures, which are typical of and found only in certain monogeneans of the family Diplectanidae. Haptor and Lamellodisc are animal morphology and platyhelminth anatomy.

See Haptor and Lamellodisc

Monogenea

Monogeneans, members of the class Monogenea, are a group of ectoparasitic flatworms commonly found on the skin, gills, or fins of fish.

See Haptor and Monogenea

Monopisthocotylea

The Monopisthocotylea are a subclass of parasitic flatworms in the class Monogenea. Haptor and Monopisthocotylea are monogenea.

See Haptor and Monopisthocotylea

Parasitism

Parasitism is a close relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or inside another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life.

See Haptor and Parasitism

Polyopisthocotylea

Polyopisthocotylea is a subclass of parasitic flatworms in the class Monogenea. Haptor and Polyopisthocotylea are monogenea.

See Haptor and Polyopisthocotylea

Satyu Yamaguti

was a Japanese parasitologist, entomologist, and helminthologist.

See Haptor and Satyu Yamaguti

Sclerite

A sclerite (Greek σκληρός, sklēros, meaning "hard") is a hardened body part.

See Haptor and Sclerite

Squamodisc

Squamodiscs are epidermal structures, which are typical of and found only in certain monogeneans of the family Diplectanidae. Haptor and Squamodisc are animal morphology, monogenea, monopisthocotylea and platyhelminth anatomy.

See Haptor and Squamodisc

Sucker (zoology)

A sucker in zoology is a specialised attachment organ of an animal. Haptor and sucker (zoology) are animal morphology and platyhelminth anatomy.

See Haptor and Sucker (zoology)
