Plagiorchis elegans in the molluscan intermediate host : infection, susceptibility, growth, reproduction, mortality and cercarial production
The host/parasite association between the pulmonate snail Stagnicola elodes and the digenean Plagiorchis elegans was examined with a view to identifying some of the biotic and abiotic factors that govern parasite egg development, infectivity and survival, the dynamics of cercarial production, as wel...
