Re: apisto with intestinal worms

["Simon" <svavev@hunterlink.net.au>]

Also - does the nematode have other hosts - like snails or daphnia - and
ergo will one treatment be enough to break the life cycle ? Do the worms I
saw in the body of the worm I examined only infect  the fish that they
inhabit or will they be able to infect other fish in the absence of other
potential hosts like the above mentions daphnia or copepods etc ?

Regards,

Simon Voorwinde
