Allocreadium

	Allocreadium ''Allocreadium'' is a genus of trematodes belonging to the family Allocreadiidae. The genus was first described by Arthur Looss in 1900. The genus has almost cosmopolitan distribution In biogeography, a cosmopolitan distribution is the range of a taxon that extends across most or all of the surface of the Earth, in appropriate habitats; most cosmopolitan species are known to be highly adaptable to a range of climatic and en ....

	Allocreadium Isoporum ''Allocreadium isoporum'' is a species of Trematoda Trematoda is a class of flatworms known as trematodes, and commonly as flukes. They are obligate internal parasites with a complex life cycle requiring at least two hosts. The intermediate host, in which asexual reproduction occurs, is a mol ... belonging to the family Allocreadiidae. It is native to Europe and Northern America.

	Allocreadiidae ''Allocreadiidae'' is a family of flatworms belonging to the order Plagiorchiida. In their adult stage they parasitize teleosts through their digestive system; they can also parasitize other vertebrates in freshwater ecosystems such as frogs, salamanders, and snakes. ''Allocreadiidae'' are distinguished from other Trematoda in the cercarial stage, where the cercaria have both an eye-spot and a stylet. The cercaria of ''Allocreadiidae'' also develop in lamellibranchs, whereas many other trematodes develop in gastropods. Genera The family includes about 40 genera, including: * '' Acanthocreadium'' Mikailov, 1969 '' Acrolichanus'' Ward, 1917 '' Allobunodera'' Yamaguti, 1971 * ''Allocreadium ''Allocreadium'' is a genus of trematodes belonging to the family Allocreadiidae.

picture info	Arthur Looss Arthur Looss (16 March 1861 – 4 May 1923) was a German zoology, zoologist and Parasitology, parasitologist. Looss was born in 1861 in Chemnitz, and was educated both there and in Łódź, Poland. Thereafter, he studied at the University of Leipzig, where he received a doctorate for his study of trematodes. Looss was sent by Rudolf Leuckart to Egypt to study the transmission of bilharzia, where he became accidentally infected with hookworm, and in so doing discovered the method by which the larvae penetrate the skin. He spilt some larval culture onto his hand in 1896, while dropping it into the mouths of guinea pigs; observing the irritation this caused to his skin, he hypothesised that infection pass through the skin. He examined his feces, faeces at intervals and found hookworm eggs in it a few weeks later. The paper he wrote about the biological life cycle, life cycle of the hookworm is considered a classic in the field. He later described the species as ''Ancylostoma duodenale ...
