Microphallus
''Microphallus'' is a genus of parasitic trematodes (flukes) in the family Microphallidae. The Greek name means "tiny penis". Hosts They are parasitic on a variety of molluscs, crustaceans, birds, and mammals, some species having complex life cycles involving more than one host. For example, '' Microphallus piriformes'' parasitizes the rough periwinkle (''Littorina saxatilis''); when these are eaten by herring gulls it infects the bird and lays its eggs in the bird's feces to infect new periwinkles. Other intermediate hosts include, for example New Zealand mud snail ''Potamopyrgus antipodarum'' and others. Parasite-host interactions Several species are notable for manipulating or influencing their hosts. '' Microphallus piriformes'' causes its host, the rough periwinkle, to move upwards, making it more vulnerable to predation by herring gulls. '' Microphallus pseudopygmaeus'' chemically castrates (parasitic castration) its host, the snail '' Onoba aculeus'', and causes it ...
