The Aschelminthes is a collection of at least eight animal phyla,
historically grouped together because the absence of a true body cavity was
perceived as a pseudocoelom. Analyses of 18S rRNA sequences from six
Aschelminth phyla (including four previously unpublished sequences) support
polyphyly for the Aschelminthes. At least three distinct groups of
Aschelminthes were detected: the Priapulida among the protostomes, the
Rotifera-Acanthocephala as a sister group to the protostomes, and the
Nematoda as a basal group to the triploblastic Eumetazoa.
ORIGINAL ARTICLE
18S rRNA data indicate that Aschelminthes are polyphyletic in origin and consist of at least three distinct clades
