Neodermata

Neodermata is an order under phylum Platyhelminthes. Platyhelminthes, or flatworms, are invertebrate animals with bilateral body plan. Neodermata which consists of Monogenea, Tremadota, and Cestoda are all parasites.

Monogenea

Monogenean are a group of ectoparasites that reside on the surface of their host. Being parasitic, they mainly infect aquatic vertebrae and are commonly found under gills of fish. Monogenean have both male and female reproductive organs, making them hermaphrodites.

Cestoda

Commonly known as tapeworms, they are found living in the intestines of vertebrates. Using the scolex with suctioning devices, they anchor themselves to the walls of the intestines. like Monogenean, Cestoda also has a reproductive system of both male and female. However, tapeworms reproduce both sexually and asexually (budding).
