A stalked crinoid (white) and a comatulid (red) in deep sea, showing the differences between these two sister groups. Most modern crinoids, i.e., the feather stars, are free-moving and lack a stem as adults. Examples of fossil crinoids that have been interpreted as free-swimming include Marsupites, Saccocoma and Uintacrinus. [23]
The first clinical studies of helminthic therapy on humans started in 2003 with the use of Trichirus suis. [29] While helminths are often considered a homogenous group, considerable differences exist between species and the species used in clinical research varies between human and animal trials.
Articulata are a subclass or superorder within the class Crinoidea, including all living crinoid species. They are commonly known as sea lilies (stalked crinoids) or feather stars (unstalked crinoids). The Articulata are differentiated from the extinct subclasses by their lack of an anal plate in the adult stage and the presence of an ...
Dictyocaulus viviparus found in the bronchi of a calf during necropsy (arrow). Parasitic bronchitis, also known as hoose, husk, or verminous bronchitis, [1] is a disease of sheep, cattle, goats, [2] and swine caused by the presence of various species of parasite, commonly known as lungworms, [3] in the bronchial tubes or in the lungs.
One proposal for the cladistic placement of the Homalozoan classes groups Stylophora together with crinoids to form Crinozoa. [7] A 2024 survey of recent research finds more support for Homalozoa as a paraphyletic assemblage along the echinoderm stem group, but noted that the position of Stylophora in particular was uncertain.

Tick-borne diseases, which afflict humans and other animals, are caused by infectious agents transmitted by tick bites. [1] They are caused by infection with a variety of pathogens , including rickettsia and other types of bacteria , viruses , and protozoa . [ 2 ]
Although this disease was first reported in 1884 [11] the species infecting humans - Pythium insidiosum - was only formally recognised in 1987. [12] Diagnosis can be difficult in part because of a lack of awareness of the disease. [13] It does not appear to be transmissible either animal to animal or animal to human.
Clinical disease is more common in young animals and non-native breeds. The clinical signs of disease are caused by an increased vascular permeability and consequent oedema and hypovolemia . The symptoms include neurological signs such as tremors and head pressing , respiratory signs such as coughing and nasal discharge, and systemic signs such ...
