source for pathogen & parasite identification?

[shoveltrash]

I've been reading WAY too much, about "hydra" and "flukes" and such :(. is there a source for identification of parasites & pathogens??? my Discus are doing fine (thank God!), but now I'm worried and would like to know if there IS such a resource for info somewhere. before joining here I realize I knew NOTHING, yikes. I didn't quarantine, didn't have a clue. surprising (dumb luck?) that my Discus are happy and healthy, still.
so........thanks in advance, and apologies if I missed it in my searches here!

Sometimes ignorance is bliss ;) if you go looking for troubles invariably you will convince yourself you have found some!
