Morphological vs. molecular identification of trematode species infecting the edible cockle Cerastoderma edule across Europe

Identifying marine trematode parasites in host tissue can be complicated when there is limited morphological differentiation between species infecting the same host species. This poses a challenge for regular surveys of the parasite communities in species of socio-economic and ecological importance....
