The specials for today are...Cercariae!
While they are a bane for the animals they infect, these free-living stages of flukes are eaten by a wide range of other organisms in the environment.
This review paper provides an overview on this phenomenon.

Caché dans le brouillard : caractérisation morphologique et moléculaire de Derogenes varicus sensu stricto (Trematoda, Derogenidae) de Suède et de Norvège, et redescription de deux espèces de Derogenes peu connues
bit.ly/P23-35
ALT Résumé
Derogenes varicus (Müller, 1784) est largement signalé comme un trématode avec une spécificité d'hôte exceptionnellement faible et une large distribution bipolaire. Cependant, plusieurs études récentes ont suggéré que D. varicus représente un complexe d'espèces. Cette possibilité nécessite une meilleure caractérisation (idéalement moléculaire) des spécimens de l'hôte-type (Salmo salar) et de la localité-type (au large du Danemark). Lors de l'examen des trématodes parasites des poissons des eaux scandinaves et arctiques (Suède et Norvège), nous avons trouvé des spécimens de D. varicus dans l'estomac de Merlangius merlangus au large de la Suède, et dans Gadus morhua au large de la Suède et de la Norvège ; nous les avons comparés à D. varicus de l'hôte-type, le saumon atlantique Salmo salar de Norvège, pour vérifier leur conspécificité. Les séquences nouvellement générées (ADNr 28S, ITS2 et cox1) de spécimens scandinaves compatibles avec D. varicus ... ... ...
