Abstract
The fresh water snail, Hippeutis(Helicorbis) cantori, caught from the rice paddies in Namyangju-gun, Gyeonggi-do, was found to be a new second intermediate host of E. cinetorchis in Korea. The metacercariae were found from 89(76.7 %) out of 116 snails examined and the average metacercarial burden was 4.7 per infected snails. Some developmental characteristics of E. cinetorchis were observed after experimental infection of the metacercariae to rats and mice.
