Trematodes
From LoveToKnow 1911
TREMATODES, or flukes (as they are called from their fish-like shape), one of the three classes that compose the phylum Platyelmia.
More on Trematode
Fluke - parasitic flatworm of the trematoda class, related to the tapeworm. Instead of the cilia, external sense organs, and epidermis of the free-living flatworms, adult flukes have sucking disks with which ...
Trematodes and cestodes (flukes and tapeworms)
Caged companion birds should have very little risk of exposure to flukes and tapeworms. These parasites have an indirect life cycle that requires an intermediate host such as a snail or earthworm.

Diseases and Pests: Eastern cottontails are hosts to fleas, ticks, lice, cestodes, nematodes, trematodes, gray flesh fly larvae, botfly larvae, tularemia, shopes fibroma, torticollis, and streptothricosis cutaneous [27].
Moreover, the threatened KAS is subject to natural predation by passerine birds and probably field mice, and it is vulnerable to infestation by a parasitic flatworm trematode (Leucochloridium cyanocittae).
Most wahoo taken have a trematode parasite (Hirudinella ventricosa) living in their stomach. It appears to do no harm to the fish.

Some researchers believe a parasitic trematode found in snails may be to blame.
Occasionally an older female will have male-like head color and male patterning on her back, but she still has the typical white face patch of a female.
In North America, Greater Scaup populations have been on a steady decline since the 1990s. Biologists and conservationists are unsure of the reasons for decline.[3] Some researchers believe a parasitic trematode found in snails may be to blame.[4] ...
Research shows that, while bears host external parasites (ticks and mites) and several types of internal parasites (helminths, nematodes, trematodes, and acanthocephalams); they are not believed to cause any significant health problems to bears.
Because of predation, more than 95% of the Atlantic croaker population dies every year. Atlantic croaker should not be eaten raw because they may pass trematodes (parasites) to humans. The croaker is closely related to spotted seatrout and red drum.
