The body form of leeches, which becomes a modeling object, is a valid ectosomatic feature. It describes borders, in which, we can find internal organs of an individual. The range of realization of the body form, proposed for different groups of leeches, characterize their life spaces. These life spaces are distinct in term of position of body of leeches to the host and to the environment. Individuals originated from the Caspian Sea, Baikal Lake, and from fresh waters of Italy, Finland, Russia, Germany and Poland. Over 1200 individuals, belonging to 11 genera were measured. The measurements have been made according to the model of the leech body form.
水蛭的身体形态成为一个建模对象，是一种有效的体表特征。它描述了边界，在这个边界内，我们可以找到个体的内部器官。为不同水蛭群体提出的身体形态实现范围，表征了它们的生存空间。这些生存空间在水蛭身体相对于宿主和环境的位置方面是不同的。个体来自里海、贝加尔湖以及意大利、芬兰、俄罗斯、德国和波兰的淡水区域。对属于11个属的1200多个个体进行了测量。测量是根据水蛭身体形态模型进行的。
