Abstract
The details of the post-embryonic development of Echinorhynchus truttae in the intermediate host, Gammarus pulex, and the final host, Salmo truttae, are described.The cystacanths of this species are sexually mature and are formed about 82 days after infection at room temperature, ca. 17°C.Copulation takes place in the definitive host soon after the worms enter the pyloric region of the intestine. About 10 weeks after infection, mature eggs are passed out with the faeces of fish.
