Hosts

Hosts of Echinostoma cinetorchis include:
  • Cipangopaludina chinensis (Gray, 1834) - Chinese mystery snail, an intermediate host
    Intermediate host
    A secondary host or intermediate host is a host that harbors the parasite only for a short transition period, during which some developmental stage is completed. For trypanosomes, the cause of sleeping sickness, humans are the primary host, while the tsetse fly is the secondary host...

    - 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.
