THE OCCURRENCE OF CONGENERIC TREMATODE SPECIES IN LYMNAEA EMARGINATA FROM LAKE AINSLIE, CAPE BRETON
A survey of larval trematodes in Lymnaea emarginata from Lake Ainslie, Cape Breton Island, showed the presence of 10 species. The two most abundant species were congeneric, with very similar life cycles: Plagiorchis muris and P. proximus. These two species never occurred together in large numbers at...
