The lung fluke Paragonimus mexicanus infects opossums in the state of Colima, on the Pacific coast of Mexico. Some of the hydrobiid snails occurring in the same area, and identified as Aroapyrgus alleei Morrison, 1946, were found naturally infected with rediae and cercariae of P. mexicanus. The morphology of A. alleei is here described and compared to that of other species of Aroapyrgus, which are actual or potential hosts of lung flukes in other enzootic or endemic areas in Central and South America.
墨西哥并殖吸虫寄生于墨西哥太平洋沿岸科利马州的负鼠体内。在同一地区发现的一些椎实螺,经鉴定为1946年命名的阿氏阿罗椎实螺(Aroapyrgus alleei Morrison),自然感染了墨西哥并殖吸虫的雷蚴和尾蚴。本文描述了阿氏阿罗椎实螺的形态,并将其与阿罗椎实螺属其他物种的形态进行了比较,这些物种是中美洲和南美洲其他动物疫病流行区或地方病流行区肺吸虫的实际宿主或潜在宿主。
