Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 44, Issue 11, Page 1777-1784, November 2021., 2021 Abstract Some trematode metacercariae, including marine digeneans belonging to the genus Cryptocotyle, induce black spots in target tissues due to the attraction of fish host melanophores. To promote precise quantification of infection, the counting of black spots has to be confirmed by reliable quantification of metacercariae after tissue digestion ...
