Studies on the trematode parasites of birds

Part I. Value of different characters in the classification of Avian trematodes

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Conclusions

From the foregoing discussion it would appear that the classification of digenetic trematodes has been based on their morphological characters. Of these only those characters which are present both in the larvae as well as in adult should be considered of primary importance in the classification. Other characters whose values have already been discussed may be considered individually on their own merits.
