Baracktrema obamai - офіційна назва плоского паразита, що був знайдений в крові черепах. Першовідкривач паразита Томас Платт стверджує, що він не мав наміру образити Барака Обаму, а навпаки, віддав йому таким чином шану. - Це честь! - каже Платт.

Barack Obama is officially now a parasite (it's an honor)WASHINGTON (AP) — It's no Nobel Peace Prize, but Barack Obama has a new honor to brag about. Scientists have named a parasite after him — and there's no worming out of it.
Meet Baracktrema obamai, a tiny parasitic flatworm that lives in turtles' blood. A new study officially names the 2-inch, hair-thin creature after Obama.
Thomas Platt, the newly retired biology professor at Saint Mary's College in Indiana who chose the name, says it's an honor, not an insult. Really.
