Infectivity, growth, and development of Echinostoma revolutum (Digenea: Echinostomatidae) in the golden hamster, Mesocricetus auratus.
TL;DR: E eggs teased from worms, embryonated in tap water, and produced miracidia which infected lab-reared Helisoma trivolvis were found to be infected 2 to 105 days post-infection with 3 to 103 flukes in the small intestine.

Effects of lead-contaminated surface water from a trap and skeet range on frog hatching and development
TL;DR: Exposure to lead in the range water did not adversely affect the growth of surviving R. palustris or R. catesbeiana tadpoles after 14 weeks and 10 weeks, respectively, and in both species, the intestinal mucosa in tadpole exposed to range water was reduced in thickness.

Echinostoma revolutum: Pathology of extraintestinal infection in the golden hamster
TL;DR: Extraintestinal echinostomiasis, i.e. Echinostoma revolutum adults in sites other than the intestine, occurred in golden hamsters experimentally infected with more than 77 worms and clinical effects included increased bilirubin concentration, the presence of Escherichia coli in blood samples, a decrease in splenic and an increase in adrenal relative weights.
