Revisiting the genus Bolbosoma Porta, 1908 (Acanthocephala: Polymorphidae): host specificity, phylogeny, and species synonymization
The phylogenetic relationships obtained support the hypothesis that the association of Bolbosoma spp. with cetaceans originated through a host-switching event from aquatic birds.
