| stellantchasmus falcatus (digenea: heterophyidae) in cambodia: discovery of metacercariae in mullets and recovery of adult flukes in an experimental hamster. | stellantchasmus falcatus (digenea: heterophyidae) is first reported from cambodia through recovery of the metacercariae from mullet fish and adult flukes from an experimentally infected hamster. we purchased 7 mullets, chelon macrolepis, in a local market of phnom penh, cambodia, and each of them was examined by the artificial digestion method on may 2010. the metacercariae of s. falcatus were detected in all mullets (100%) examined, and their average density was 177 per fish. they were elliptic ... | 2016 | 27658608 |
| pygidiopsis cambodiensis n. sp. (digenea: heterophyidae) from experimental hamsters infected with metacercariae in mullets from cambodia. | pygidiopsis cambodiensis n. sp. is described based on adult flukes recovered from syrian golden hamsters experimentally infected with metacercariae from mullets (liza macrolepis) purchased at a local fish market in phnom penh, cambodia. the specimens were examined by light and scanning electron microscopy. among the 13 species so far assigned to pygidiopsis, the new species belongs to the summa-type (including pygidiopsis pelecani, pygidiopsis phalacrocoracis, pygidiopsis piclaumoreli, pygidiops ... | 2016 | 26362645 |
