Waders inhabiting an area in which A. tyosenense is endemic were examined to determine if they serve as reservoir hosts for the parasite. Of the waders examined, 4 individuals from 2 species were found to be hosts for 18 to 1820 adult worms. Common and velvet scoters, which are known to be the final hosts of A. tyosenense, are rare in the infected areas, while waders are prevalent and prey on the bivalves known to be intermediate hosts of A. tyosenense. Thus, from the experimental results and circumstances presented herein, we conclude that waders are definitive and reservoir hosts of A. tyosenense in nature.

1999년 3월부터 2000년 3월까지 서해안 만경강 하구역의 심포리 지선 간석지에서 채집한 갯우렁이 (Lunatia fortuni)와 큰구슬우 렁이 (Neverita didyma)에서 Cercaria yamagutii Ito,1957를 검출하고, 실험실에서 이매패류인 동죽 (Mactra venerifomis)에 감염 시켜 피낭유충이 형성됨을 확인하였고, 동 실험에서 형성된 피낭 유충을 괭이갈매기 (Larus crassiostris)에 경구 감염시켜 10일 후 성충을 얻어 Acanthoparyphium tyosenense Yamaguti, 1939임을 확인하여 지금까지 밝혀지지 않았던 이 충의 전 생활사를 밝혀냈다. 제1중간숙주는 해산 복족류인 갯우렁이, 큰구슬우렁이, Tympanotonus microptera와 Cerithidea (Cerithidea) largillierti, Cerithidea (Cerideopsilloa) cingulata이고, 제 2중간숙주는 이매패인 동죽, 개량조개, 맛조개, 바지락이며, 종숙주는 괭이갈매기와 물오리의 일종인 Melaniua fusca stejnegeri이다. 갯우렁이와 큰구슬우렁에서 검출한 Cercaria yamagutii를 실온 $25^{\circ}C$ 전후에서 동죽이 들어있는 수조에 넣은 후 30분 이내에 입수는 피낭의 크기 $300\sim360{\mu}m$, 탈낭유충$790\sim800\times300\sim310{\mu}m$크기로 활발히 신축 운동하는 성숙한 유충으로 발육되었다. 자연산 이매패에서 Acanthopayphium tyosenense의 피낭유충 기생율은 동죽 $99.5\%$, 맛조개 $76.3\%$, 바지락 $37\%$이었고, 피낭유 충의 부위별 기생율은 동죽의 경우 검출된 피낭유충 총 18,064개중 족부 근육 $62.9\%$ (11,368개), 아가미 $23.6\%$ (4,258개), 내장낭$13.5\%$ (2,435개)의 기생율을 나타냈다. 피낭유충은 숙주 종이나 크기와 관계없이 나타났다.

Acanthoparyphium shinanense n. sp. (Digenea: Echinostomatidae) is described from chicks experimentally infected with the metacercariae encysted in 2 brackish water clam species, Ruditapes philippinarum and Coecella chinensis, in the Republic of Korea. The metacercariae were round to oval, armed with 23 collar spines, and 0.216 (0.203-0.226) mm in diameter. From 5 chicks experimentally infected each with 200 metacercariae, 34 juvenile (5-day-old worms) and 104 adult flukes (7-day-old worms) were harvested from their small intestines, with the average worm recovery rate of 13.8%. The adult flukes were 3.18 (2.89-3.55) mm long and 0.68 (0.61-0.85) mm wide, with an elongated, posteriorly tapering body, and a prominent head collar armed with 23 collar spines arranged in a single uninterrupted row. The posterior testis of A. shinanense was longitudinally elongated, which is similar to Acanthoparyphium spinulosum Johnston, 1917 but unique from the other closely related species, including Acanthoparyphium tyosenense Yamaguti, 1939, Acanthoparyphium kurogamo Yamaguti, 1939, and Acanthoparyphium marilae Yamaguti, 1934. The eggs of A. shinanense were larger than those of A. spinulosum, and the anterior extent of 2 lateral groups of vitellaria was slightly more limited in A. shinanense than in A. spinulosum. Molecular analysis of nuclear and mitochondrial genes revealed low homology with A. spinulosum from USA (96.1% in 5.8S rRNA) and Ukraine (97.9% in 28S rRNA), Acanthoparyphium n. sp. from USA (98.0% in 28S rRNA), and Acanthoparyphium sp. from Australia, Kuwait, and New Zealand. Biological characteristics, including its first intermediate host and natural definitive hosts, as well as its zoonotic capability, should be elucidated.

Metacercariae of Acanthoparyphium marilae Yamaguti, 1934 (Digenea: Echinostomatidae) were discovered in an intertidal clam, Mactra veneriformis, in a southwestern coastal area of the Republic of Korea. A total of 128 metacercariae were detected from 10 clams examined. They were round, 320 m in average diameter, with 23 collar spines. They were fed experimentally to chicks, and 10 days later adult flukes were obtained. The adults were morphologically characterized by the head collar with a single row of 23 dorsally uninterrupted spines, without special end group spines, a round ventral sucker, 2 round and tandem testes, and vitellaria extending at lateral fields from the posterior extremity not beyond the middle level of the posterior testis. The most characteristic feature of this species was the limited distribution of vitellaria, which differs from Acanthoparyphium tyosenense Yamaguti, 1939, the metacercariae of which are encysted in the same mollusk species. This is the first report in which the metacercariae of this species were detected, and the intertidal bivalve, M. veneriformis, has been identified as a second intermediate host for A. marilae.

A survey was performed to know the recent infection status of digenetic trematode metacercariae in clams and oysters from 4 sites in western coastal regions of the Republic of Korea (=Korea). Four species of clams (Mactra veneriformis, Ruditapes philippinarum, Cyclina sinensis, and Saxidomus purpuratus) were collected from Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do (Province), Buan-gun (County) and Gochang-gun, Jeollabuk-do, and oysters, Crassostrea gigas, from Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do were transferred to our laboratory on ice and examined by the artificial digestion method. The metacercariae of Himasthla alincia were detected in 3 species of clams, M. veneriformis, R. philippinarum, and C. sinensis from the 3 surveyed areas. The positive rate and the mean density per clam infected were 98.9% (30.8 metacercariae) in M. veneriformis, 60.0% (5.0) in R. philippinarum, and 96.0% (28.4) in C. sinensis. The positive rate (mean density) of Acanthoparyphium tyosenense metacercariae in M. veneriformis was 50.0% (2.1) from Taean-gun and 70.0% (2.8) from Gochang-gun. The metacercariae of Parvatrema spp. were detected in M. veneriformis and R. philippinarum from Taean-gun and Gochang-gun; the positive rate (mean density) was 63.3% (4,123) and 50.0% (19) in M. veneriformis, and 6.7% (126) and 100% (238) in R. philippinarum from the 2 regions, respectively. The metacercariae of Gymnophalloides seoi were detected in all 30 oysters from Shinan-gun, and their average density per oyster was 646. From the above results, it has been confirmed that more than 3 species of metacercariae are prevalent in clams from the western coastal regions, and G. seoi metacercariae are still prevalent in oysters from Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, Korea.
