The life cycle of Zygocotyle lunata (Trematoda, Paramphistomoidea) in the subtropical region of South America
The life cycle of the trematode Zygocotyle lunata (Diesing, 1836) is studied, beginning with cercariae from naturally infected Biomphalariaperegrina (d'Orbigny, 1835) and B. tenagophila (d'Orbigny, 1835) from Buenos Aires Province and Salta Province (Argentina), respectively. Adults were r...
