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...
