EXPERIMENTAL INFECTION OF SWISS AND AKR/J MICE WITH Centrocestus formosanus (TREMATODA: HETEROPHYIDAE) [PDF]
Revista Do Instituto De Medicina Tropical De Sao Paulo, 2013 In order to better understand the biology of Centrocestus formosanus in a definitive host model, mice of Swiss and AKR/J strains were experimentally infected with 100 metacercariae of the parasite. Fourteen days post-infection, the rodents were killed and adult trematodes were recovered from the small intestine. The percentage of parasite recovery from

Dynamics of Centrocestus armatus Transmission in Endemic River in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan
Tropical Medicine and Health, 2014 Centrocestus armatus is an intestinal parasite belonging to the family Heterophyidae. We developed an apparatus for recovering cercariae and clarified the infection dynamics of this parasite. To clarify the circadian rhythm of cercarial shedding in the summer season, we filtrated 30 l of river water every 2 h for 24 h.

The first record of Centrocestus formosanus (Nishigori, 1924) (Digenea: Heterophyidae) in Egypt
Experimental Parasitology, 2016 The life cycle of Centrocestus formosanus (Digenea: Heterophyidae) was to be successfully completed in the laboratory in the present study. Hundreds of the thiarid snail, Melanoides tuberculata, were collected from the main water course Mansouriya Canal, Giza Governorate, Egypt.
