Larval stages of C. daubneyi and F. hepatica. a Sporocyst of C. daubneyi. b Sporocyst of F. hepatica containing redia. c Redia of C. daubneyi with detail showing the anterior portion (insert). d Rediae of F. hepatica (different generations within the same snail). e Mature cercaria of C. daubneyi. f Mature cercaria of F. hepatica. g Metacercaria of C. daubneyi. h Metacercaria of F. hepatica. Larval stages in a and b were confirmed by molecular techniques according to Martínez-Ibeas et al. [20]. Larval stages in c-h were classified morphologically by microscopic techniques. Mature cercariae released during dissection of infected snails encysted on the slides to form the metacercariae shown in g-h. All photographs are original work by Yolanda Manga-González
