Karl (Carl) Moriz (Moritz) Diesing (16 June 1800, Krakow – 10 January 1867, Vienna) was an Austrian naturalist and zoologist, specializing in the study of helminthology. He studied medicine at the University of Vienna, earning his doctorate in 1826. Afterwards, he served as an assistant to botanist Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin, later working as an intern at the ''Hof-Naturalien-Cabinet'' (from 1829). In 1836 he became a curator of the zoological collections. In the late 1840s, he began to suffer from serious eye problems, and shortly afterwards experienced permanent blindness.〔(Biography ) @ Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie〕 His principal works include ''Systema Helminthum'' (2 vols., 1850–1851), and ''Revision der Nematoden'' (1861). In his paper "''Versuch einer monographie der Gattung Pentastoma''" (Ann. Wien Mus. Naturges. 1836, 1–32), he was the first to establish the distinct nature of the Pentastomida, placing them in a new group which he called Acanthotheca.〔(A systematic monograph of the Recent Pentastomida, with a compilation of their hosts ) by M.L. Christoffersen & J.E. De Assis〕 The genera ''Diesingia'' 〔(WoRMS taxon details ) Diesingia Sambon, 1922〕 and ''Diesingiella'' 〔(Petymol ) Biographical Etymology of Marine Organism Names.
