The present study aims to focus on the role of common marine snails ( as a vector for some trematode parasites.
A total of 327 marine water snails were collected during the summer of 2016 from a Qarun lake in the EL-Fayoum Governorate, Egypt. The snails were investigated for infection by trematode parthenitae through induction of cercarial shedding by exposure to light and crushing the snails. The species were stored in Search Laboratory of Zoology Department, Faculty of Science, Fayoum University.
Three species of d a a were identified from the infected snails. They are described here and they identified in relation to close-up morphological features and linked to its snail hosts. They give the following names: type 1, type 2, and type 3. The incidence of infection by these cercariae was 33%, 25.7%, and 2.4%, respectively.
This study is clarifying the importance of this marine snail as intermediate hosts for new trematode species.
本研究旨在关注常见海洋蜗牛作为某些吸虫寄生虫载体的作用。
2016年夏季，从埃及法尤姆省的卡伦湖收集了总共327只海水蜗牛。通过光照诱导尾蚴逸出和碾碎蜗牛来调查蜗牛是否感染吸虫胞蚴。这些蜗牛保存在法尤姆大学理学院动物学系的搜索实验室。
从受感染的蜗牛中鉴定出三种类型。在此对它们进行描述，并根据特写形态特征进行鉴定，并将其与其蜗牛宿主相关联。它们被赋予以下名称：类型1、类型2和类型3。这些尾蚴的感染率分别为33%、25.7%和2.4%。
本研究阐明了这种海洋蜗牛作为新吸虫物种中间宿主的重要性。
