Introduction
The trematode Notocotylus intestinalis Tubangui, 1932 was found in the first time in domestic duck
(Anas boschas domestica) on the Philippine Islands (Skryabin, 1953). In 2001, in snails Parafossarulus
manchouricus and P. spiridonovi from floodplain reservoirs of basins Ilistaya river and Arsenjevka river, we
found out notocotylid parthenits and cercariae. We experimentally established that these trematodes belongs
to species Notocotylus intestinalis.
Material and methods
Spontaneously infested and releasing notocotylid cercariae molluscs from genus Parafossarulus served as
working material. Five hundred gastropods were examined, of which 5 were infected with notocotylids. Snails
were kept in the laboratory at the temperature of water about 20–22°Ñ. To determine reaction of cercariae to
the light, narrow elongated glass vessels sized of 20 x 2 x 3 cm were used, 1/3 of which was closed with a black
paper, with the bright point illumination of the opposite part of vessel. To establish diurnal rhythm of cercariae
releasing from snails, the latter were placed into Petri dishes with water volume of 50 ml. Every 2 hours snails
were moved to another dishes, and in previous dishes numbers of adolescariae appeared were determined.
Cercaria’s behaviour was observed on specimens which left snails during the peak emission and were placed
into Petri dishes with high sides. As definitive hosts, chickens were used, incubated in laboratory. Partenitae,
cercariae (preliminary immobilized) and adolescariae (10 spec. each) were measured being alive. Adult
trematodes were placed into whole mounts. Preparations were stained with aluminous carmine.

ing up at the level of intestinal bifurcation. From the place of channels closing, unpaired
appendix, equal to oesophagus in length, goes away. The channel lumen is filled with
numerous granules. Caudal channel is divided into two short branches in the distal end
of tail. There are 2 processes on posterior end of body, used by cercariae for moving
on substrate. Tail 0.50–0.56 x 0.044–0.056 mm.
Ado l e s c a r i a. Adolescaria’s cyst (fig. 1, c) is dome-shaped, 0.160–0.166 mm in

Lo c a l i z a t i o n. Intestinal caeca.
Ma r i t a. Body 2.0–2.4 x 0.48–0.55 mm (here and further measurements of
5 spec.) (fig. 1, d), up to the level of middle vitelline glands covered with small spines
most densely located on its anterior end. Body edges are folded ventrally. Ventral glands
form three longitudinal rows. In median row 15, in lateral rows 16 glands in each.
Anterior gland of middle row lies ahead of the first pair of glands of lateral rows, and
posterior gland lies at the level of next to last pair of lateral glands (by 12 spec. of ma-
rites with glands). Distance from anterior end of body to the first gland of central row
0.36–0.47 mm, and between glands in rows 0.05–0.09 mm. Oral sucker 0.11–0.12 mm
in diameter, oesophagus 0.11–0.14 mm of length. Intestinal caeca do not reach a little
the level of back edge of testes. Testes 0.28–0.39 x 0.13–0.20 mm, on the external edge
of lobes deep and small. They placed 0.084–0.10 mm from posterior end of body.
Cirrus sac 0.60–0.81 x 0.06–0.08 mm, has large internal seminal vesicle and external
convoluted seminal vesicle. Genital pore located on median line immediately after
intestinal bifurcation. Cirrus is not armed, when everted, reaches 0.20 x 0.02 mm size.
Ovary 0.10–0.15 x 0.10–0.13 mm, lobed, placed on median line between testicles, at
their middle. Mehlis’ gland 0.078–0.089 x 0.084–0.089 mm, lies ahead the ovary.
Uterine loops do not cover intestinal caeca. Metraterm 0.30–0.46 mm of length.
Vitelline glands lie on each side of body covering intestinal caeca, posteriorly they
adjoin to anterior edge of testicles. Length of vitelline glands 0.40–0.56 mm. Eggs with-
out filaments 0.019 x 0.011 mm.
L i f e c y c l e. The peak release of cercaria is observed in the midday (12 a.m.–
1 p.m.). Cercariae have positive phototaxis and after short-term active swimming alter-
nating with settling on substrate and crawling they encysted in the most lighted up areas
of vessel. As we observed, they encysted not only on vessel walls, but also on the sur-
face of mollusc shell and water vegetation (on parts of plants closest to water surface).
Thus, even at the highest density of adolescariae in vessel, cercariae did not encyst on
adolescariae.
Adolescariae obtained were fed to 4 chickens, 100 spec. each. Chickens were
autopsied on 10th, 12th, and 16th days. All chickens were infected, however invasion
intensity were different, from 1 to 37 trematodes. Marites localized in intestinal caeci
and normal proportion of worms was 4–13, 1–15, 5–32. Trematodes became mature
only on 16th day after the day of chickens infection.
Discussion
Up to date, systematic status of this trematode species remained debatable. Based
on marite morphology, some authors recognize validity of N. intestinalis (Oshmarin et
al., 1970), others treat it as a synonym of N. attenuatus (Dubois, 1951, cited by
Filimonova, 1982, 1985). In our opinion, this species is independent undoubtedly.
Morphologically marites of the species mentioned differ by the followings signs:
presence of thorns on a body and absence of armament on cirrus in N. intestinalis as
compared to N. attenuatus; testes structure (testes lobes in N. attenuatus large and
poorly expressed, but in N. intestinalis they are small, numerous, and sections reach
263Life cycle of the trematode Notocotylus intestinalis ...
longitudinal ax of testicle); length proportion of metraterm and bursa (in N. attenuatus
metraterm does not reach the middle of bursa, and in N. intestinalis it goes behind the
middle of bursa). Also, there are differences in the structure of cercariae. Collective
excretory channels in cercariae N. intestinalis, in contrast to those in N. attenuatus, at
the level of intestinal bifurcation form process equal to oesophagus in length. Moreover,
it was earlier established that the first intermediate hosts of N. attenuatus are pulmonary
molluscs from genus Lymnaea (Filimonova, 1982, 1985), and in N. intestinalis,
according to results of our studies, this role play anterobranchial molluscs from genus
Parafossarulus.
Consequently, along with morphological signs, independence of species N. intestinalis
is also confirmed by peculiarities of its life cycle.
