Published in 2022 at "Pathogens"

DOI: 10.3390/pathogens11020156

Abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate the occurrence of Alaria alata (Goeze, 1782) in fifty-one grass snakes (Natrix natrix) collected in Gostynińsko-Włocławski Landscape Park. Each snake was tested for the presence of A.… read more here.
