Structures argyrophiles tégumentaires du miracidium, de la rédie et de la cercaire de <i>Paramphistomum daubneyi</i> Dinnik, 1962 (Trematoda, Paramphistomidae)

Although rarely encountered in the United States, urinary tract schistosomiasis occurs commonly in many countries in the eastern hemisphere. Travel and immigration may contribute to imported cases of schistosomiasis. Excessive morbidity and increased mortality, including the development of urinary‐tract squamous‐cell carcinoma, are associated with untreated Schistosoma haematobium infection. Therefore, in the appropriate clinical context, all efforts should be made to rule out infectious and readily treatable causes of chronic hematuria. The presence of characteristic eggs in the urinary sediment is the usual means of diagnosing a S. haematobium infection. Additionally, the small and less commonly encountered miracidium stage of S. haematobium may also be present in the urine, which is another means of diagnosing urinary tract schistosomiasis. The present report describes a case in which a miracidium was detected in a fresh, unstained urine specimen. As detection of miracidia can be made in specimens also processed by routine cytologic methods, it behooves cytologists to be aware of this entity for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis. Diagn.

The snail natural host is unknown.The chaetotaxy of the cercaria differs from that of other European species of Paramphis tomum and particularly from P. leydeni and P. daubneyi both species which occur in Vendée. The morphology of the adult precludes any relationship with P. ichikawai also present in Vendée. Therefore it very likely represents a species which was synonymised with P. cervi or a new species.Key-words: Paramphistomum. Cercaria. Chaetotaxy.Le cycle biologique de ce parasite a été réalisé par Postal (1984), puis Postal et Picot (sous presse) à partir des miracidiums obtenus par éclosion des oeufs d'un adulte recueilli dans la panse d'un Bovin ( Bos taurus) abattu dans l'Ouest de la France, en Vendée, à Challans. L 'adulte qui a fourni les oeufs a été déterminé Param phistom um cervi par le Professeur Sey. Des A nisus rotundatus (Poiret, 1801) originaires du Marais Vendéen ont été chacun mis en présence de 2 à 4 miracidiums. Les Mollusques, testés pendant deux mois, une fois par semaine, s'étaient révélés
