Abstract
A few studies on parasites associated with Corbicula clams are currently available. Here, we report on the first DNA-based and histological identification of cercariae of the trematode Prosorhynchoides sp. (Digenea: Bucephalidae) in C. fluminea and C. leana from Myanmar. The cercariae of Prosorhynchoides sp. were discovered in the foot tissue of these clams. The mean body length of cercaria is 132.7 ± 10.0 µm, while the mean tail stem length is 26.1±1.4 µm.
