“…The growth characteristics of adult flukes are in agreement with other digeneans studied, in which three phases are usually recognised: the lag-phase, the rapid phase and the stationary phase (Fried, 1962;Nollen, 1971;Nollen & Murray, 1978;Ismail & Issa, 1987). In P. orientalis the lag-phase lasted for 5 days after which it entered a rapid phase that continued for the rest of the period studied (35 days).…”

“…Similar vitellaria were seen in adult flukes from this outbreak. Live snails collected from the edges of the pool were identified as M. tuberculata, which has been reported as a natural intermediate host of P. gralli (Nollen & Murray 1978). A few empty shells were identified as those of Bulinus globosus.…”

“…The origin of the infection reported by Greve & Harrison (1980) was never established, although it was presumed that the fluke was introduced either through importation of birds for exhibit in a Texas zoo (Nollen & Murray 1978) or through wild migratory birds in an area where the freshwater snail intermediate hosts, T. granifera and M. tuberculata, were present (Greve & Harrison 1980). Information gathered from the present outbreak seems to indicate that the introduction of P. gralli in Zimbabwe was through wild migratory birds, possibly white stork.…”
