Population biology of Posthodiplostomum namum Dubois, 1937 (Trematoda, Diplostomidae) in Jenynsia lineata and Cnesterodon decemmaculatus (Pisces, Atheriniformes), of Chis-Chis Lagoon, Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina

The characteristics of the population dynamics of Posthodiplostomum nanum have been studied in two of its intermediate hosts, using prevalence, intensity and maturity of the metacercariae, considering the influence of the water temperature. In addition to this some ecological implications are descri...
