“…Until now, information about parasites and commensals of Сorbicula clams has been limited to only a few publications. Recently, several genera of trematodes (Krailas et al 2008;Taskinen et al 2021), Unionicola mites (Brian & Aldridge, 2019), oligochaetes (Liquin et al 2021(Liquin et al , 2022, larvae of mayflies Symbiocloeon corbiculinus and S. laoensis, chironomids, and the embryos of Soldatov's thicklip gudgeon (Bespalaya et al 2023b, c) have been reported for Corbicula clams in North and South America, and in Asia. To date, parasites of Corbicula have not been detected in European waterbodies.…”

et al. 2023

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.
