Extract
Williams and Chaytor (1966) reported the presence of encysted strigeid trematode larvae on the muscles and liver of Epiplatys sexfasciatus and E. senegalensis collected from a stream at Hastings, Sierra Leone. Out of 253 fishes examined 89 or 35% were infected with the parasite.
The parasites when fed to day-old chicks or cattle egrets gave rise to adults which were identified as Posthodiplostomutn nanum Dubois, 1937.
