development of fasciola hepatica in lymnaea columella infected with miracidia derived from cattle and marmoset infections. | the development of fasciola hepatica from two species of definitive hosts, i.e. cattle (bos taurus) and a marmoset (callithrix penicillata) in the snail lymnaea columella was determined based on the production of rediae and cercariae and snail survival rate. more rediae and cercariae at 60-74 days post-infection were produced by snails infected by cattle-derived miracidia (cattle group) than by those infected by marmoset-derived miracidia (marmoset group). among the l. columella parasitized by t ... | 2008 | 18053300 |
