Leucochloridiidae
''Leucochloridium'' is a genus of parasitic trematode worms in the order Diplostomida. It Is the sole genus in the family Leucochloridiidae.Carus, C. G. (1835). Beobachtung über einen merkwürdigen schöngefärbten Eingeweidewurm, ''Leucochloridium paradoxum'' mihi, und dessen parasitische Erzeugung in einer Landschnecke, ''Succinea amphibia'' Drap. ''Helix putri''s Linn. ''Nova Acta Physico-Medica Academiae Caesareae Leopoldino Carolinae Naturae Curiosorum'' 17(7), 85–100. Members of this genus cause pulsating swellings in the eye-stalks of snails (a phenomenon colloquially called a ''zombie snail''), so as to attract the attention of predatory birds required in the parasites' lifecycle. Taxonomy Species Species in the genus ''Leucochloridium'' include: * '' Leucochloridium caryocatactis'' (Zeder, 1800) now in genus '' Urogonimus'' * ''Leucochloridium fuscostriatum'' Robinson, 1948 is a junior synonym of ''L. variae'' * ''L. fuscum'' Rietschel, 1970 is a junior synonym of ' ...

Leucochloridium Paradoxum
''Leucochloridium paradoxum'', the green-banded broodsac, is a parasitic flatworm (or parasitic worm, helminth). Its intermediate hosts are land snails, usually of the genus ''Succinea''. The pulsating, green broodsacs fill the eye stalks of the snail, thereby attracting predation by Bird, birds, the primary host. These broodsacs visually imitate caterpillars, a prey of birds. The adult parasite lives in the bird's cloaca, releasing its eggs into the faeces. Life cycle The species in ''Leucochloridium'' share a similar life cycle. They are parasites of snails and birds. This is a truncated life cycle compared with typical Trematoda, trematodes, because the snail acts as both the first and second intermediate host.

Digenea Genera
Digenea (Gr. ''Dis'' – double, ''Genos'' – race) is a Class (biology), class of Trematoda, trematodes in the Platyhelminthes phylum, consisting of parasitic flatworms (known as ''flukes'') with a syncytium, syncytial tegument (helminth), tegument and, usually, two sucker (zoology), suckers, one ventral and one oral. Adults commonly live within the digestive tract, but occur throughout the organ systems of all classes of vertebrates. Once thought to be related to the Monogenea, it is now recognised that they are closest to the Aspidogastrea and that the Monogenea are more closely allied with the Cestoda. Around 6,000 species have been described to date. Morphology Key features Characteristic features of the Digenea include a syncytial tegument; that is, a tegument where the junctions between cells are broken down and a single continuous cytoplasm surrounds the entire animal. A similar tegument is found in other members of the Neodermata; a group of Platyhelminthes, platyhelmint ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Carl Gustav Carus
Carl Gustav Carus (3 January 1789 – 28 July 1869) was a German physiologist and painter, born in Leipzig, who played various roles during the Romanticism, Romantic era. A friend of the writer Johann Wolfgang Goethe, he was a many-sided man: a doctor, a naturalist, a scientist, a psychologist, and a landscape painter who studied under Caspar David Friedrich. Life and work In 1811 he graduated as a doctor of medicine and a doctor of philosophy. In 1814 he was appointed professor of obstetrics and director of the maternity clinic at the teaching institution for medicine and surgery in Dresden. He wrote on art theory. From 1814 to 1817 he taught himself oil painting working under Caspar David Friedrich, a Dresden landscape painter. Subsequently, he studied under Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld at the Oeser drawing academy. When the King of Saxony, Frederick Augustus II of Saxony, Frederick Augustus II, made an informal tour of Britain in 1844, Carus accompanied him as his personal ...
