Abstract
Two specimens of H. heterophyes. collected from 1 bat taken at San''a, Yemen, were found to be typical. Since fish serve as the second intermediate hosts for this trematode, it is inferred that such animals were eaten by the bats, a habit which has been found to occur in at least some groups of these animals.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
