Abstract

Walker J. C. 1979. Austrobilharzia terrigalensis: a schistosome dominant in interspecific interactions in the molluscan host. International Journal for Parasitology 9: 137–140. In the estuarine prosobranch Velacumantus australis the avian schistosome Austrobilharzia terrigalensis is always associated with the germinal sacs of other trematodes. In this association the schistosome retards the development of the other trematode, thereby reducing the intensity of interspecific competition for the limited resource, the host's tissues.
