A key to cercariae of British strigeoids (Digenea) for which the life-cycles are known, and notes on the characters used | Journal of Helminthology | Cambridge Core (original) (raw)

Abstract

From original observations and from data in the literature, a key to cercariae of British strigeoids for which life-cycles are known has been compiled. The value of various characters of systematic importance is discussed.
