[Research of the life cycle of a Paramphistomidae (Trematoda) of amphibians in Africa (author's transl)].
The intermediate hosts of Diplodiscus subclavatus are in Togo, Bulinus forskalii and Segmentorbis kinisaensis. The cercariae, amphistome, leave soon the rediae to achieve their development at the top of the hepatopancreas of the mollusc. The usual infestation of the definitive host occurs by penetration of cercariae into tadpoles with the water flood. Secondary ways of infestation keep up the prevalence near a high level.
