Fish Pathogenic Cercariae from Snail Hosts
This is a photo of fish pathogenic cercariae collected from intermediate snail hosts. The Western Fisheries Research Center (WFRC) is working to determine the extent of the effects of these parasitic organisms on suckers in Klamath Falls, OR. Top: Diplostomum gavium; Bottom: Bolbophorus sp.
