molecular identification of larvae of a tetraphyllidean tapeworm (platyhelminthes: eucestoda) in a razor clam as an alternative intermediate host in the life cycle of acanthobothrium brevissime.dwarf razor clams (ensis minor) in the gulf of mexico are known to be infected with plerocercoid larvae of a tetraphyllidean tapeworm. here, we show that these larvae live unencysted in the intestinal lumen of the clam. morphologically, the larvae are similar to (although significantly larger than) tapeworm larvae previously described living in the gut of amphioxus (branchiostoma floridae) from the same habitat. sequence data from the d2 region of the 28s rdna from clam-infecting larvae were ide ...200919366282
five new species of acanthobothrium van beneden, 1849 (eucestoda: tetraphyllidea: onchobothriidae) in stingrays from 1he gulf of nicoya, costa rica.five new species of acanthobothrium are described in stingrays from the gulf of nicoya, costa rica. acanthobothrium costarricense n. sp. in dasyatis longus, most similar to acanthobothrium lilium, acanthobothrium lineatum, and acanthobothrium himanturi, has bothridial hooks averaging 125 microns (lateral) and 145 microns (medial) long, an average of 47 testes per proglottis, cirrus sacs averaging 187 microns long, and asymmetrical ovarian lobes with poral lobes reaching the posterior margin of t ...19958544069
