Resumen:
During a survey of parasites of the Patagonian freshwater crabs Aegla neuquensis neuquensis, ectosymbiotic
Temnocephala chilensis were found infecting echinostomatid metacercariae with 43
collar spines. From 414 T. chilensis
collected, 106 were parasitized with metacercariae of Echinoparyphium sp. Ovigerous
adults of E. megacirrus were obtained
from chicks experimentally infected with metacercariae obtained from
temnocephalans. This is the first record of temnocephalans being parasitized by
digeneans.
