Abstract
Seasonal changes in the testes of an acanthocephalan, Centrorhynchus corvi, from natural infections of the crow, Corvus splendens, have been studied throughout the year. Histologically, three states of testicular activity, i.e. active, intermediate and inactive, have been distinguished. Worms with inactive testes are more frequent during winter and early spring, and those with active testes, during summer. The results are discussed in relation to season-mediated changes in host physiology and the possible mode of parasitic infections.
