The number of eggs laid per snail in Bradybaena similaris and the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) in the albumen gland and ovotestis were quantified in snails infected with sporocysts of the digenetic trematode Eurytrema coelomaticum. The total number of eggs laid per mollusc was reduced by 96.32% at the end of the larval development. The DNA concentration increased by 700%, and the RNA concentration was reduced by 8.38% by the time when the daughter sporocysts of E. coelomaticum were released from B. similaris. The relation between these values and the inhibition of the reproduction observed in infected molluscs is discussed.
对感染了复殖吸虫腔阔盘吸虫孢囊的同型巴蜗牛所产的卵数以及蛋白腺和卵睾中的核酸（DNA和RNA）进行了定量分析。在幼虫发育末期，每个软体动物产卵总数减少了96.32%。当腔阔盘吸虫的子孢囊从同型巴蜗牛中释放出来时，DNA浓度增加了700%，RNA浓度降低了8.38%。讨论了这些数值与受感染软体动物繁殖抑制之间的关系。
