Molecular confirmation of pearl formation in arctic mussels (Mytilus edulis) caused by Gymnophallus bursicola (Odhner 1900) metacercariae [PDF]
Parasitology, 2023 In recent field studies, suspected gymnophallid metacercariae were histologically located in the mantle of mussels from the Norwegian Sea. Mussels from the sites in which that infection was detected also presented abnormally high pearl numbers.

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

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]
Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal, 1993 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]
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.

The influence of environmental factors on Clinostomum sp. (Digenea) infection in the fish Cichlasoma paranaense (Kullander, 1983) in Central Brazil [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 This study analyzed the parasitism by Clinostomum sp. metacercariae of the neotropical fish Cichlasoma paranaense (Kullander 1983) and environmental variables’ influence on their host-parasite relationship in Central Brazil.
