Euclinostomum ardeolae Sp Nov [Trematoda: Clinostomatidae]

Clinostomatid metacercariae collected from the kidneys of Tilapia nilotica were found to mature in the buccal cavity of the buff-backed heron Ardeola ibis ibis. Eggs and cercariae were developed in the snail Bulinus truncatus. Some differences were considered enough to create a new species Euclinostomum ardeolae
