Studies on Some Developmental Stages in the Life Cycle of Pygidiopsis genata (Looss 1907) (Trematoda:Heterophidae) from Egypt

Abstract

Pleurolophocercous cercariae of Pygidiopsis genata were obtained from naturally infected Melania tuberculata and allowed to encyst in clean Gambusia affinis and Tilapia nilotica under laboratory conditions.
