Some Observations on Cercaria splendens Szidat, 1932 from a New Intermediate Host, Planorbis vortex, in the Netherlands
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2009
Extract
(1) Cercaria splendens Szdiat was found in a specimen of Planorbis vortex, caught in a ditch near Utrecht, the Netherlands.
(2) Its morphology and behaviour are briefly described and compared with the data given by previous authors.
(3) A feeding experiment with the stickleback, Gasterosteus pungitus, is described. The preliminary conclusion is drawn that Gasterosteus is not the final host but probably acts as a transport host for this species.
