Description
Podocotyle Dugesi is a species of digenean flatworms that is parasitic in nature. It is commonly found in marine gastropods and fishes. The adult worms live in the digestive tract of the host and produce eggs that are released into the water through the host's feces. The eggs then infect intermediate hosts, typically gastropods, where they develop into infective larvae.
