Larval trematodes of Biomphalaria straminea (Mollusca: Planorbidae) in a ricefield in Corrientes Province, Argentina
A total of 3 494 snails from Biomphalaria straminea (Dunker, 1848) were collected from December 2010 to May 2011, in a ricefield in Corrientes province, Argentina, and 5 species of larval trematodes belonging to Strigeidae (Furcocercaria sp. XIV, Furcocercaria sp. XV, Furcocercaria sp. XVI), Diplost...

XV and Furcocercaria sp. XVI were the most common species present in nearly all months of the sampling period, whereas Furcocercaria sp. XVII and Furcocercaria sp. XVIII were rarer species.
