Metapolystoma cachani a parasite of Ptychadena longirostris (Peters) has been discovered in the Ivory coast. Its life cycle is the first to involve both the possibility of an internal cycle in the bladder of the adult Amphibian and a neotenical reproduction on the gills of the Tadpole. This double process is the link between the Monogeneans which are only parasites of aquatic hosts and those which are adapted to terrestrial hosts. Its place is therefore essential in the phylogeny of Polystomatidae.
在象牙海岸发现了寄生于长吻褶蛙（彼得斯）的卡氏多盘吸虫。其生命周期首次涉及到在成年两栖动物膀胱内进行体内循环以及在蝌蚪鳃上进行幼态繁殖的可能性。这种双重过程是仅寄生于水生宿主的单殖吸虫与适应陆地宿主的单殖吸虫之间的联系。因此，它在多盘科的系统发育中具有至关重要的地位。
