  • FIGURES 1–2. Renicola sp. "polychaetophila". 1. A fresh, deshelled first intermediate host snail (Cerithidea californica) infected with daughter sporocysts. The large orangish mass in the snail visceral mass is the sporocyst colony. The colony takes up the entirety of the snail gonadal space and has also infiltrated some of the digestive gland. Large arrow marks the basal-most extent of the colony, which extends to the distal tip of the visceral mass (small arrow). Scale bar = 10 mm. 2. Phase contrast view of anterior end of a flattened, live cercaria, highlighting the sclerotized portion of the oral stylet. The apparent lateral bulges of the stylet are not consistently observed among individual cercariae. Scale bar = 10 μm.
