🪱Leucochloridium paradoxum

Leucochloridium paradoxum Carus, 1835

Leucochloridium paradoxum ist ein parasitischer Saugwurm (Klasse der Trematoda, Unterklasse der Digenea), der zu den Plattwürmern (Plathelminthes) zählt. Während seiner Entwicklung bilden sich in den Fühlern des Zwischenwirtes, Schnecken der Gattung Succinea, farbig gebänderte und pulsierende Sporozystenschläuche. Diese locken Vögel an, welche die Fühler fressen, da sie diese für Würmer halten, und hierdurch zum Endwirt des Parasiten werden.
