Optimization of Culture Conditions for in Vitro Fertilization of the Microphallid Trematodes Gynaecotyla Adunca and Microphallus Turgidus
… on the production of eggs in culture. <em>Microphallus turgidus</em> has been successfully cultured in vitro (Pung, et al., 2011) and was used in this study as a control. Metacercarial cysts of<em> G. adunca</em>, were obtained from the green glands of fiddler crabs, <em>Uca pugnax</em>, …

Behavioral Analysis of a Digenetic Trematode Cercaria (Microphallus Turgidus) in Relation to The Microhabitat of Grass Shrimp (Palaemonetes Spp.)
… grass shrimp hosts of the microphallid trematode Microphallus turgidus are found in specific microhabitats. The primary second intermediate host of this parasite is the grass shrimp Palaemonetes pugio. The behavior of trematode cercaria often reflects the habitat and behavior of the host species. …

Population Genetics Analysis of the Grass Shrimp Palaemonetes Pugio Using Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism
… pugio, populations or the effects the parasite Microphallus turgidus has on it. The objective of this study was to determine the amount of genetic diversity of the shrimp populations based on locality and parasite load. In order to examine the genetics of P. pugio, shrimp DNA was extracted and …
