| epidemiological and molecular data on heterophyid trematode metacercariae found in the muscle of grey mullets (osteichthyes: mugilidae) from sardinia (western mediterranean sea). | this study is a contribution to the molecular taxonomy and epidemiology of heterophyid (trematoda: heterophyidae) metacercariae found in the muscle of mugilidae (osteichthyes) from sardinia (western mediterranean sea). sixty specimens of mugilids (13 chelon labrosus, 18 liza aurata, 6 liza ramada, 8 liza saliens, 15 mugil cephalus) were examined and 17,899 metacercariae isolated in 95 % of the hosts. four types of metacercariae were identified: heterophyes sp. (n = 14,113), heterophyes sp. -smal ... | 2016 | 27154766 |
