Some Aspects of the Development of Lobatostoma jungwirthi Kritscher, 1974 (Aspidogastrea) in Snails and Cichlid Fishes from Buenos Aires, Argentina
The molluscs Heleobia castellanosae and Ampullaria canaliculata and cichlid fishes were collected from an artificial pond at Tres de Febrero Park (Buenos Aires city), between June 1994 and May 1995. One hundred and eighty of 2,467 H. castellanosae examined were infected with pre-adults of Lobatostom...
