Molecular Characterization of the First Reported Neoplagioglyphe megastomus (Digenea, Omphalometridae) in Poland
The diversity and taxonomy of metacercariae infecting freshwater amphipods of Poland are predominantly poorly known. During parasitological surveys of Gammarus pulex (Crustacea: Amphipoda) in the Pomeranian region of Poland in 2020 and 2021, some specimens of crustaceans were found to harbour metace...

During parasitological surveys of Gammarus pulex (Crustacea: Amphipoda) in the Pomeranian region of Poland in 2020 and 2021, some specimens of crustaceans were found to harbour metacercariae.
