A digenetic trematode, Cercaria tenuans, was the probable causative agent of an extensive mortality of cultured mussels (Mytilus edulis = gallo-provincialis) in the southern part of the Laguna Veneta, Italy. Sporocysts of C. tenuans occurred in the mantle tissue, the visceral mass and in the extra-pallial fluid space between the mantle and the shell.

Abstract
A digenetic trematode, Cercaria tenuans, was the probable causative agent of an extensive mortality of cultured mussels (Mytilus edulis = gallo-provincialis) in the southern part of the Laguna Veneta, Italy. Sporocysts of C. tenuans occurred in the mantle tissue, the visceral mass and in the extra-pallial fluid space between the mantle and the shell. Germballs and apparently viable cercaria, or daughter sporocysts, were observed in the sporocysts. Other microscopic parasites were found in low numbers.
