Abstract

Cephalopod molluscs have attracted little attention as potential hosts for digenetic trematodes. Though none appears to serve as a first intermediate host, many do act as second intermediate, paratenic, or final hosts. Hence, they probably play a more important role in the life history and dissemination of Digenea in the marine environment than is generally recognized.
