Excystment of metacercariae ofParorchis acanthus, Posthodiplostomoides leonensis, Posthodiplostomum sp.andClinostomum tilapiaewas found to be an active process initiated by the metacercariae when the correct physico-chemical conditions exist in the environment; but in the excystment ofPosthodiplostomum nanumthe metacercaria seems not to take part in the process.Temperature, osmotic pressure, pH and eH are factors which influence all the five species studied. Fresh ox bile was found not to be an absolute necessity for the excystment of the five species studied but its presence in the medium increased the rate of excystment of three species.
