- Abstract
The life cycle of the trematode Maritrema misenense (Palombi, 1940) Prévot, Bartoli & Deblock, 1976). The sporocysts M. misenense containing cercariae were found in the digestive gland of the gastropods Rissoa membranacea (J. Adams, 1800) and Melarhaphe nereitoides Linnaeus, 1758 (syn. Littorina nereitoides). Metacercariae were recorded in the muscles of the amphipods Gammarus insensibilis Stock, 1966, while adult M. misenense were collected from the digestive tract of the near-water birds Aythya fuligula (Linnaeus, 1758). The morphological description, illustrations, and measurements of all detected vital stages of the trematodes are given.
