Bivagina
Description

Bivagina represents a genus of monogenean parasites, noted for their two distinct vaginal structures, from which their name is derived. These parasites are exclusively found in marine environments, preying on the gills of their fish hosts. They are characterized by a complex life cycle that involves direct transmission from host to host without the need for an intermediate.
