Echinostoma bolschewense is a species of echinostome from the Czech Republic, Russia, and the Slovak Republic.[1][2]
Echinostoma bolschewense has a typical trematode life-cycle; In nature the redia occur in Viviparus contectus and V. acerosus that serve as the first intermediate hosts.[1] These produce cercariae that carry the 37 collar spines (10–13 μm) as is usual in the Echinostoma.[3] The metacercariae can encyst on a wide range of host snails. In nature they have been found on Viviparus contectus, Lymnaea stagnalis, Planorbarius corneus, Physa fontinalis, and Radix auricularia.[1] Mammals serve as the definitive host where the adults can grow up to 12.5 mm.[2] and in which eggs (138–162 μm) are produced.[1]
