Abstract excerpt

Ligula intestinalis (Cestoda: Diphyllobothriidea) is a cosmopolitan tapeworm parasite characterized by a complex life cycle that includes freshwater fish infection. Ligula disrupts host reproduction, and causes ecological imbalances. Despite its broad geographic distribution and ecological significance, molecular data for South American populations have been lacking, leaving a critical gap in understanding its...
