Abstract
The life cycle of Paryphostomum segregation is described. Miracidia develop into mature sporocysts in places of entry into the snail hosts Biomphalaria glabrata (Say), B. straminea (Dunker), and B. tenagophila (D''Orbigny). Probably there are more than 2 redial generations. Fish and tadpoles served as second intermediate hosts. Adult worms were obtained from the urubu vulture, Coragyps atratus foetens (Lichtenstein).This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
