TREMATODES OF THE NASAL FOSSAE

Trematodes of the nasal fossae or sinuses

ORCHIPEDIDAE

Orchipedumisostoma (Rudolphi, 1819)

TROGLOTREMATIDAE

Troglotrema mustelae Wallace, 1932

Some trematodes normally live as adults in the nasal sinuses of their hosts. There is every reason to believe that cats are capable of becoming infected with these trematodes if they eat an infected intermediate hosts. However, there are no reports of this having occurred naturally.
