Hosts
Hosts of Echinostoma cinetorchis include:
- Cipangopaludina chinensis (Gray, 1834) – Chinese mystery snail, an intermediate host[2]
- Austropeplea ollula – as a first and main intermediate host[3]
- Note on Hippeutis (Helicorbis) cantori – this species had previously been reported as first and second intermediate host, but in a subsequent study in a laboratory setting, the species was not able to be infected at all.[4]
- Segmentina hemispaerula as a first and second intermediate host in Korea, based on laboratory work.[4]
- Gyraulus convexiusculus as a potential first and second intermediate host in Korea, based on laboratory work.[4]
Experimentally induced infection of host species that occur in Korea in a laboratory setting include:[5]
From miracidia to cercaria, i.e. as a primary intermediate host:
From cercaria to metacercaria, i.e. as a second intermediate host:
- Hippeutis sp. – experimentally induced infection[5]
- Radix auricularia subspecies corecna – experimentally induced infection[5]
- Physella acuta, listed as Physa acuta – experimentally induced infection[5]
- and to a very small extent, due to the mostly lethal effect of the infection,
- Cipangopaludina sp. – experimentally induced infection[5]
