Occurrence and Morphological Comparisons of Campula oblonga (Digenea: Campulidae), including a Report from an Atypical Host, the Thresher Shark, Alopias vulpinus [Research Notes]
New host records for Campula oblonga Cobbold, 1858 from the common dolphin, Delphinus delphis L., and from the thresher shark, Alopias vulpinus (Bonnaterre), are reported herein. Campulids have not been reported previously from a host that was not a marine mammal. The excellent condition and small s...
