Özet
Abstract Cercaria orospinosa is the only cercaria shed by Melanopsis praemorsa snails in Savanda stream, Turkey. Magnitude of infestation of snails by this cercaria was correlated with size of the snails and strength of the water current. The highest degree of infestation occurred in June, while in winter it was reduced to zero. The cercariae were released from rediae, which were found in the hepatopancreas of the snails.
