Of 8, day-old mallard ducklings, each fed 50 encysted metacercariae of Echinostoma trivolvis, 4 (50%) were infected 15-31 days postinfection (PI) with a total of 10 (2.5%) worms. The worms were attached loosely to the mucosa of the lower ileum and rectum-cloaca, and some were ovigerous by day 15 PI. Ducklings, 4-14 days old when fed encysted metacercariae, became infected with E. trivolvis adults, but ducks 150 days old were refractory to infection. Compared to our previous studies on experimental infections of echinostomes, mallard ducklings were less susceptible than golden hamsters to E. trivolvis.
