Platyhelminthes (medicine) and Coccidiasina (medicine)


Platyhelminthes (medicine)


Platyhelminthes


A phylum of flatworms that are bilaterally symmetric, flattened, and acelomate. There is no digestive tract in some platyhelminths (Cestoda), or the gut may be incomplete (without an anus), as in the Trematoda; most of the forms are hermaphroditic. There are three major classes, but the parasitic species of medical and veterinary importance are in the subclass Cestoda (the true tapeworms) of the class Cestoidea, and in the subclass Digenea (the digenetic flukes) of the class Trematoda.


Coccidiasina (medicine)


Coccidiasina -->
coccidia
<protozoa> A subclass of protozoans commonly parasitic in the epithelial cells of the intestinal tract but also found in the liver and Other organs. Its organisms are found in both vertebrates and higher invertebrates and comprise three orders: agamococcidiida, protococcidiida, and eucoccidiida.
