Description:

The development of Spirocamallanus mysti (Karve, 1952) was studied in the copepod hosts Mesocyclops crassus (Fischer) and M. leuckarti (Claus) and in the fish host Mystus viltatus (Bloch). When eaten by copepods the first-stage larvae burrow through the intestinal wall into the haemocoel and there they moulted twice to become the third, infective stage. The first moulting occurred on day 4 p.i. at 18-2ГС (on day 6 p.i. at 16-20"C) and the second moultingoccurred on day 8 p.i. at 18-19.5"C (on day 11 p.i. at 16-20"C. Further development occurred only after reaching the stomach of the fish definitive host. In the fish stomach two more larval moultings occurred, the third on day 15 p.i. and the fourth (final) on day 37 p.i. in “male” larvae and day 67 p.i. in “female” larvae. The individual developmental stages and the morphological changes occurring during development are described in detail.
