Leucochloridium variae, the brown-banded broodsac, is a species of trematode whose life cycle involves the alternate parasitic invasion of certain species of snail and bird. While there is no external evidence of the worm's existence within the bird host, the invasion of the snail host involves the grotesque swelling of one or both of the snail's eye stalks. This invasion does not cause the snail's death. The snail regenerates a replacement eye stalk, which can also become reinfected by the parasite.

  • Leucochloridium variae, the brown-banded broodsac, is a species of trematode whose life cycle involves the alternate parasitic invasion of certain species of snail and bird. While there is no external evidence of the worm's existence within the bird host, the invasion of the snail host involves the grotesque swelling of one or both of the snail's eye stalks. This invasion does not cause the snail's death. The swollen, pulsating eye stalk resembles a maggot. This modification attracts the parasite's definitive hosts, birds: the bird rips off the eye stalk and eats it, thus becoming infected with the sexually mature parasites. Later on the parasite's eggs are dropped with the bird's feces. Similar life-histories are found in other species in the genus Leucochloridium, including Leucochloridium paradoxum. The snail regenerates a replacement eye stalk, which can also become reinfected by the parasite. (en)
