Extract

Koga (1922) recorded for the first time the occurrence of metacercariae belonging to the genus Phyllodistomum Braun, 1899, in the freshwater shrimp, Palaemon nipponensis from Japan. Later Yogota (1922), Hirata (1928) and Asada (1928) recorded that shrimps in Japan were infected by larvae of several species of Phyllodistomum.
