Echinostoma cinetorchis

Echinostoma cinetorchis is a species of human intestinal fluke, a trematode in the family Echinostomatidae.

Distribution This species occurs in Korea.

Hosts Hosts of Echinostoma cinetorchis include: Cipangopaludina chinensis (Gray, 1834) – Chinese mystery snail, an intermediate host Austropeplea ollula – as a first and main intermediate host Note on Hippeutis (Helicorbis) cantori – this species had previously been reported as first and second intermediate host, but in a subsequent study in a laboratory setting, the species was not able to be infected at all. Segmentina hemispaerula as a first and second intermediate host in Korea, based on laboratory work. Gyraulus convexiusculus as a potential first and second intermediate host in Korea, based on laboratory work.

Experimentally induced infection of host species that occur in Korea in a laboratory setting include:

From miracidia to cercaria, i.e. as a primary intermediate host: Hippeutis sp. – experimentally induced infection From cercaria to metacercaria, i.e. as a second intermediate host: Hippeutis sp. – experimentally induced infection Radix auricularia subspecies corecna – experimentally induced infection Physella acuta, listed as Physa acuta – experimentally induced infection and to a very small extent, due to the mostly lethal effect of the infection, Cipangopaludina sp. – experimentally induced infection
