Susceptibility of Japanese Lymnaea ollula to Nigerian Fasciola gigantica.

Further Observation on the Susceptibility of Different Species of Lymnaea Snails of Iran to Miracidia of Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica

Ingestion of Fasciola gigantica metacercariae by the intermediate host snail, Lymnaea ollula, and infectivity of discharged metacercariae.

The rate of ingestion of Fasciola normal metacercariae (NMc) encysted on plants by Lymnaea ollula was examined, and the infectivity of the ingested metacercariae (IMc) in the feces of the host snail to mice was studied. As a result of ingestion by snails, the metacercarial outer cyst disappeared in about 50% of IMc in feces. There was no significant difference in the liver juvenile recovery at ...
