cercaria sevillana n sp, a new cercaria (digenea: microphallidae) from nassarius reticulatus (l) (mollusca: prosobranchia) in portugal.	cercaria sevillana n. sp. (digenea: microphallidae) was discovered infecting the gonads and digestive gland of the prosobranch nassarius reticulatus (l.) (nassariidae) collected from the ria de aveiro, portugal. cercariae were obtained by natural emission and were studied under a differential interference contrast microscope and scanning electron microscope (sem). c. sevillana n. sp. is identical to the cercaria found by dolgikh (1965) in the same mollusc host from the black sea, but erroneously ...	2002	12510162
clarification of cercaria sevillana (digenea: microphallidae) life cycle using morphological and molecular data.	cercaria sevillana is the cercaria larval stage that infects the gonads and the digestive gland of its first intermediate host, nassarius reticulatus. in this study the decapodous crustacean carcinus maenas was used to determine if it would serve as second intermediate host in the parasite's life cycle. the latter hypothesis was based on the knowledge that c. maenas is the second intermediate host of several other digenean species. after dissection, it was possible to observe encysted metacercar ...	2007	17539414
