Le cycle biologique de Maritrema misenensis (A. Palombi, 1940) n. comb. est décrit et illustré. Les sporocystes parasitent la glande digestive de Cerithium mediterraneum, Mollusque Prosobranche.
Les cercaires correspondent à Cercaria misenensis A. Palombi, 1940, des côtes italiennes. Les métacercaires sont enkystées dans Orchestia mediterranea, Crustacé Amphipode. L’adulte a été obtenu expérimentalement chez Larus argentatus michaellis. Le distome est morphologiquement semblable à Maritrema patulus W.-H. Coil, 1955, de la mer des Antilles. Il faut attendre la découverte du cycle de vie de cette espèce américaine pour statuer si elle est identique ou non à l’espèce méditerranéenne.
Abstract
The life cycle of Maritrema misenensis (A. Palombi, 1940) n. comb. is described with illustrations. The sporocysts parasite the digestive gland of the Prosobranch snail Cerithium mediterraneum. The cercariae are the same as Cercaria misenensis, A. Palombi, 1940 described from Italian coast. The metacercariae are encysted in the general cavity of the Amphipod Orchestia mediterranea. The adults have been obtained by artificial infestations of Larus argentatus michaellis. Their morphological features are same as those of the caribbean species Maritrema patulus W. H. Coil, 1955. When the life cycle of the American species is pointed out, it will be possible to know whether there are two or only one species.
