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 ...

Fasciola Metacercaria Contamination in Wetland Pastures and Its Association With Forage Characteristics Across Agro-Ecological Zones: Case of Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia. [PDF]
In Ethiopia's Gamo Zone, we found that highly palatable, protein‐rich forage species in wetlands carry the highest burden of Fasciola metacercariae. This creates a direct conflict between livestock nutrition and health, demanding integrated management strategies to mitigate disease risk.

Competent Non-Native Alternative Host Reduces Infection Success in a Generalist Parasite. [PDF]
In this study, we experimentally assessed how the addition of a non‐native alternative host affects the infection success of the larval generalist trematode, Diplostomum pseudospathaceum, in fish intermediate hosts. Our results demonstrate that the presence of alternative hosts, especially the non‐native ones, can reduce parasite transmission through ...

Digenean Metacercariae Parasitic in a Staurozoan Cnidarian [PDF]
I report digenean metacercariae from Staurozoa, which were not previously known as digenean hosts. The host species, Haliclystus tenuis Kishinouye, 1910, was collected from algae in Oshoro Bay, Hokkaido, Japan, and contained metacercariae in the mesoglea.
