Encysted metacercariae of Microphallus sp. were found in the land mollusks Bradybaena duplocincta and Jaminia potaniniana asiatica collected on the slopes of Tien-Shan. The above mollusks are first reported as intermediate hosts of microphallids. The meta cercariae found were fed to white mice, golden hamsters, chickens and nestlings of sparrows and starlings. Maritae developed only in white mice and golden hamsters. Mature trematodes containing 14 to 35 eggs in the uterus were found in the small intestine 66-90 hours after the infection. Small mammals are assumed to be the definitive hosts of these trematodes. The trematodes of Microphallus sp. are characterized by a short life cycle with one intermediate host, land mollusk.
在天山山坡采集的双线嗜黏液蛞蝓和亚洲巴蜗牛这两种陆生软体动物体内发现了微小阴茎吸虫的包囊后尾蚴。上述软体动物首次被报道为微阴茎科吸虫的中间宿主。将发现的后尾蚴投喂给小白鼠、金黄仓鼠、鸡以及麻雀和椋鸟的雏鸟。仅在小白鼠和金黄仓鼠体内发育出成虫。感染后66 - 90小时，在小肠内发现子宫内含有14至35枚虫卵的成熟吸虫。小型哺乳动物被认为是这些吸虫的终末宿主。微小阴茎吸虫的特点是生命周期短，有一个中间宿主，即陆生软体动物。
