Review of "Digenetic Trematodes of Indian Marine Fishes" by Rokkam Madhavi and Rodney Bray.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Taenia ovis is a tapeworm that is mainly transmitted between dogs and sheep. Although T. ovis infection is not a public health issue, it causes a great financial loss due to condemnation of carcasses.  The first outbreak of T. ovis infection in China occurred in 2015. Reassessment of adverse effects of T. ov...
