title: [Biology of Khawia japonensis (Caryophyllidea, Cestoda), a parasite of the Amur carp].
abstract: The development of the cestode Khawia japonensis (Yamaguti, 1934) has been studied experimentally. At 18 to 26 C, in 12-14 days oncospheres develop in eggs, whose infective properties manifest themselves in 30-31 days. In the caudal segments of Limnodrilus udekemianus they penetrate the body cavity through the intestinal wall and migrate to the anterior margin as they mature. In 55 to 60 days (at the same temperature) mature proceroids become localized in 9-12 segments. The development of embryonal hooks and penetration glands was retraced.
