Fertilisation and Egg Formation in a Digenetic Trematode, Podocotyle atomon

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  06 April 2009

Extract

Few records have been made of the process of fertilisation in the Digenea. Nicoll (1907) observed it in Podocotyle and states that it lasted but 10 min., and MacCallum (1913) has given an account of fertilisation in Microcotyle, one of the Monogenea.
