I have several concerns about this article, which I think are serious enough for the editors to consider removing the article. Several problems with the form of the article have already been noted; however, much of the content is factually inaccurate as well.
- elasmobranch cestodes do not form a class. An elasmobranch cestode is simply a tapeworm that infects sharks. Perhaps Wikipedia could create a category called "tapeworm species that parasitize sharks" or something like that, since such species exist in many genera across the class, for example, phyllobothrioid and tetrarhynch cestodes (NW Riser 1956), etc.
- "cestoidea" is an antiquated name for the class that includes all cestodes, not just those that infect sharks
- any cestode that infects bivalves, as described in the text, would by definition not be a bivalve cestode, not an elasmobranch cestode
Could the summary of the de Buron article instead be included in the article about Mulinine bivalves, or bivalve die-offs? Oceanchaos (talk) 07:52, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
