Dioctophyma renale ( Goeze, 1782) *
Site of infection: body cavity.
Recruitment: ingestion.
Distribution: Canada: Ontario ( Mace & Anderson 1975).
No specimens in collections.
Remarks: This parasite has been found encapsulated in fishes; larvae can be transmitted along food chain of paratenic hosts ( Karmanova 1961). Possibly American bullfrogs became infected with D. renale by eating parasitized frogs of different species ( Mace & Anderson 1975).
