چکیده
The prevalence of larval stages of Dicrocoeliidae in the land snail, Chondrus tournefortianus (Férussac, 1821), found in Kastamonu, Turkey, was investigated and some of its morphological and histological features were determined. The snail samples were collected in spring and autumn. C. tournefortianus has been reported for the first time as being an intermediate host in the life cycle of Dicrocoeliid (Trematoda: Digenea) species. The prevalence of the infection in Kastamonu, Turkey was 2.27%, with the highest value occurring in October.

Influence of infestation by Labratrema minimus (Bucephalidae: Digenea) on oxygen consumption of edible cockle Cerastodema edule (Mollusca: Bivalvia) in laboratory conditions
Short-term oxygen consumption and filtration rate experiments were conducted to evaluate the response of edible cockle Cerastoderma edule when infested by the Digenean trematod Labratrema minimus. In this experiment the metabolic activities of bivalves were measured to detennine this particular aspect of the host-parasite interaction. We have used the Bucephalidae digenea Labratrema minimus inf...

Exsheathing fluid (EF) and excretory-secretory products (ES) of infective third-stage cultured larvae ofOstertagia circumcincta were analysed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDSPAGE). Five and seven predominant proteins were found in the EF and ES products, respectively. Immunoblotting by sheep pre-infection serum did not react with any of the EF and ES proteins, b...
