Abstract:
One hundred and eleven naiads from six different dragonfly species were investigated for the presence of metacercariae. Sixty-nine animals (62.2%) were infected with intensities up to more than 150 cysts per animal. The metacercarial cysts were characterized by light and scanning electron microscopy. Two types of metacercariae could be differentiated by morphological features of cyst surface, cyst wall and size.
