Morphological and molecular assessment of muscle metacercariae infecting tench Tinca tinca from fish farms and wild populations in Germany [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Fish can be infected with metacercariae (the final larval stage) of different species of potentially zoonotic digenetic trematodes (flukes). The fish-borne zoonotic trematodes thus compromise food safety and present a major threat for human health ...

Viability of Metagonimus romanicus (Ciurea, 1915) metacercariae after physico-chemical treatments

Food and Waterborne Parasitology
Digenean (Heterophyidae) trematodes include several zoonotic species such as the genus Metagonimus (Katsurada, 1912). Metagonimus romanicus (Ciurea, 1915) is a species widely distributed in Europe, whose metacercariae can be found on cyprinoids from the ...

Ecological, Molecular, Histopathological and Public Health Implications of Zoonotic Metacercariae Clinostomum complanatum (Rudolphi, 1814) in the Endemic Anatolian Fish, Alburnus escherichii [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Aims Clinostomid metacercariae infect a wide range of freshwater fish species, posing a zoonotic risk to human health when consumed raw or undercooked, potentially leading to Halzoun disease.

Scanning Electron Microscopy Reveals New Ultrastructural Features in Metacercariae of Clinostomum cutaneum (Digenea: Clinostomidae) Infecting Oreochromis niloticus (Actinopterygii: Cichlidae) in Kenya [PDF]

Pathogens
Clinostomum is a genus of parasitic trematodes found worldwide, infecting a wide range of hosts, including freshwater fishes, snails, birds and occasionally humans.

Alternative Development Strategies of Clinostomum chabaudi (Digenea) Metacercariae in Frog Hosts (Hyperolius spp.)

Diversity, 2021
Clinostomum metacercariae are common endoparasites of fish and frogs. In this study, we examine taxonomic identity and developmental strategy of Clinostomum metacercariae infesting reed frogs Hyperolius kivuensis and H. viridiflavus in Rwanda.

Cockle as Second Intermediate Host of Trematode Parasites: Consequences for Sediment Bioturbation and Nutrient Fluxes across the Benthic Interface

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Trematode parasites are distributed worldwide and can severely impact host populations. However, their influence on ecosystem functioning through the alteration of host engineering behaviours remains largely unexplored.

Diagnosis of centrocestus formosanus infection in zebrafish (Danio rerio) in Italy: A window to a new globalization-derived invasive microorganism [PDF]

, 2020
Centrocestus formosanus is a digenetic trematode with a complex life cycle, involving invertebrate and vertebrate hosts, humans included. In particular, it causes gill lesions and mortality in freshwater fish species, and gastrointestinal symptoms in ...

Spatial distribution of skin and muscle metacercariae (Digenea) of roach, Rutilus rutilus, and bleak, Alburnus alburnus (Actinopterygii: Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae), from an estuary lake in central Europe [PDF]

Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2019
Adult stages of digenean flukes are usually well studied, but their larval forms, the metacercariae, do not receive comparable attention of researchers.

COMPARISON BETWEEN TWO METHODS OF METACERCARIAE OF Ascocotyle sp (Trematoda: Digenea) EXTRACTION FROM TISSUES OF Mugil liza Valenciennes, 1836 (Teleostei: Mugilidae)

Ciência Animal Brasileira, 2014
The demand and consumption of fish and their derivatives has increased considerably in recent years. However, fish are ideal hosts of numerous parasites, highlighting the need to develop new research methodologies for its detection.

UNUSUAL PATHOGENICITY OF A COMMON METACERCARIA OF FISH [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1970
The metacercaria of Posthodiplostomum minimum centrarchi Hoffman, 1958, is reported from an unusual host, Roccus saxatilis, from North Carolina. Although few dead or moribund fish were observed, there were many deformed fish, few of which survived. The metacercariae were in the musculature and orbit of the eye instead of in the usual location in the ...
