Extract

Gastrodiscoides hominis is unique among the helminthic infections of man in that it is the only common representative of the Amphistome group in the human host; Watsonius watsoni (Conyingham, 1904), another Amphistome, is normally a parasite of monkeys and has been very rarely recorded from man in whom it is evidently an accidental parasite.
