Le cycle biologique de Gorgoderina rochalimai Pereira et Cuocolo, 1940. Digène parasite de Bufo marinus en Guadeloupe.
Les sporocystes de G. rochalimai ont été découverts en Guadeloupe chez le Lamellibranche Sphaeriidae, Eupera viridans. Les cercaires, du type cystocerque, sont ingérées par des larves d’Odonates chez lesquelles a lieu l’enkystement. L’hôte définitif du parasite est le Crapaud Bufo marinus. Le cycle de G. rochalimai montre les modalités très voisines de celles connues chez plusieurs autres espèces de Gorgoderidae.
Abstract
The sporocysts of G. rochalimai were found in Guadeloupe, in the bivalve Mollusc Sphaeriidae Eupera viridans. The cystocercous cercariae are ingested by Odonatan larvae in which the encystement occurs. The Toad Bufo marinus is the definitive host of the parasite. The life-cycle of G. rochalimai shows close similarities with the ones already known in many other species of Gorgoderidae.
