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

Prevalence and species identification of trematode metacercariae in Qiqihar, Northeast China
Fishborne trematode (FBT) is an important group of parasites that are endemic worldwide to a certain extent. However, despite the epidemiological significance, the species and phylogenetic evolution characteristics of FBT metacercariae have not been well

METACERCARIAL INFECTION IN THE MUSCLES OF TILAPIA NILOTICA AND CLARIAS LAZERA AND THE EFFECT OF SOME PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL FACTORS ON THE VIABILITY OF ENCYSTED METACERCARIAE [PDF]
Macroscopic encysted metacercariae in muscles of Clarias lazera were proved to be the larval stage of Cynodip < /em>lostomum azimi, while the microscopic ones obtained from both Clarias lazera and Tilapia nilotica were found to be those of ...

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]
Adult stages of digenean flukes are usually well studied, but their larval forms, the metacercariae, do not receive comparable attention of researchers.

UNUSUAL PATHOGENICITY OF A COMMON METACERCARIA OF FISH [PDF]
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 ...
