The effects of parasite dose, host size and method of exposure on the reproductive capacity and survival of Biomphalaria glabrata infected with the incompatible digenean, Plagiorchis elegans /
The digenean parasite, Plagiorchis elegans can establish infections in the incompatible snail, Biomphalaria glabrata , a vector of human schistosomiasis. Although embryonic development is arrested at the sporocyst stage, infection with a single parasite egg reduced reproductive success of this i...
