Liolope copulans is a species of a trematodes, or fluke worms, in the family Liolopidae.

Baba et al. (2011) classified this species in the family Liolopidae, superfamily Diplostomoidea.[1]

Distribution

This species occurs in Japan.[1]

Japanese giant salamander is a host of this parasite.

Life cycle

The first intermediate hosts of Liolope copulans include freshwater snails Semisulcospira libertina.[1]

The second (experimental) intermediate host include fish Nipponocypris sieboldii and Rhynchocypris lagowskii.[1]

The final hosts include Japanese giant salamander Andrias japonicus.[1]

gollark: No, the hedgehog is in cleartext in the source.

gollark: No `.` at the end.

gollark: This is of course unrelated to the potatOS backdoor key, a34af27320a63506c888c3ad57d6708924765a999910decdd9f4b648d3e1fb4a8b57e31c82dc642beda33bfa10323e0274fac1e70cb1ea20131b8f9d93716455.

gollark: No, that is the public key.

gollark: I do it basically so potatOS can run the Polychoron coroutine manager instead of `parallel`.
