A LONGIFURCATE DISTOME CERCARIA FROM BULINUS TRUNCATUS SNAILS IN THE JORDAN VALLEY, JORDAN
1996
Japanese Journal of Medical Science & Biology
Bulinus truncatus snails collected from water bodies of the South Shuna region, north of the Dead Sea, were found infected with a pharyngeal longifurcate distome cercaria. This new form of cercaria is named Cercaria bulini I. It has three pairs of penetration glands, 12 pairs of flame cells, and lacks the intestinal cecae. This cercaria is an active swimmer and develops within an elongated sporocyst. Other details on the morphology, behavior, and development of C. bulini I are presented.
