Hosts

Hosts of Echinostoma cinetorchis include:

Cipangopaludina chinensis (Gray, 1834) - Chinese mystery snail, an intermediate host

Austropeplea ollula - as a first and main intermediate host

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.

Segmentina hemispaerula as a first and second intermediate host in Korea, based on laboratory work.

Gyraulus convexiusculus as a potential first and second intermediate host in Korea, based on laboratory work.

Experimentally induced infection of host species that occur in Korea in a laboratory setting include:

From miracidia to cercaria, i.e. as a primary intermediate host:

Hippeutis sp. - experimentally induced infection

From cercaria to metacercaria, i.e. as a second intermediate host:

Hippeutis sp. - experimentally induced infection

Radix auricularia subspecies corecna - experimentally induced infection

Physella acuta, listed as Physa acuta - experimentally induced infection

Cipangopaludina sp. - experimentally induced infection
