The life cycle of Genarchopsis goppo a hemiurid trematode found in the stomach of Channa punctata has been worked out in detail. The egg contains a fully developed miracidium at the time of liberation. The miracidium contains a ciliated covering, a long apical gland and a crown of spines at the anterior end. The snail Amnicola travancorica acts as the first intermediate hose inside which the miracidium passes through sporocyst and redial generations. The cercaria is of cystophorous type and is identical to Cercariae Indicae Sewell XXXV. Metacercaria occurs in the ostracods Stenocypris malcolmsoni and Eucyoris capensis. The fish Aplocheilus panchax serves as the paratenic host. The entire developmental cycle from egg to egg producing adult takes 3 months.
已详细研究了在斑鳢胃中发现的半尾吸虫——戈氏原殖吸虫的生命周期。卵在排出时含有一个发育完全的毛蚴。毛蚴有一层纤毛覆盖物、一个长的顶端腺体以及前端的一排刺。田螺特拉凡哥尔河拟沼螺作为第一中间宿主，毛蚴在其体内经过胞蚴和雷蚴阶段。尾蚴为囊尾型，与印度尾蚴西韦尔XXXV相同。后尾蚴寄生于介形虫马尔科姆窄尾介和开普真圆介中。潘氏青鳉鱼作为转续宿主。从卵到产卵成虫的整个发育周期需要3个月。
