Abstract excerpt

The encysted metacercariae (EMC) of heterophyids in the fish species; Mugil caphalus, M. capito, M. auratus, Oreochromis n. niloticus (=Tilapia nilotica), and Tilapia zillii trapped brackish and fresh water fishes were isolated by the artificial digestion method and identified. The EMC by morphometric analysis proved to be seven phenotypical distinct types. Cross-matched seven groups of clean laboratory bred...
