Amphistomes of the World A check-list of the amphistomes of vertebrates O. Sey The amphistomes are one of the rare groups of digenetic trematodes which have a broad spectra of the definitive hosts together with a wide geographical distribution, forming a continuous evolutional lineage from fishes to mammals. At the same time, some species of them are causative agents of devastating disease of domestic and wild animals, mainly ruminants. Therefore, amphistomes may have professional and practical interests for research and thus a great number of information has been accumulated on their classification and biology. The intention of this check-list is to bring together a comprehensive list of the amphistomes, presently known and sources of references of their hosts and geographic distribution (87 pages). This list consists of three main parts. In the first "Parasite/host check-list" (137 pages), parasites were listed under their scientific names, followed by the synonyms, then the name of the authorship as well as the name of the countries from which they were reported. In the second "General host/parasites check-list" (31 pages), host were listed systematically under their scientific names from fishes to mammals, followed by amphistomes described in them in alphabetical order. In the third "Host/parasites check-list by countries" (63 pages), countries were listed alphabetically, hosts systematically and their parasites alphabetically. When it seemed to be necessary some comments were given and they are found in Chapter 7 "Notes" (5 pages). Three indexes (parasite, host and countries) are added to the list (29 pages).
