The variability of metacercariae of Diplostomum pseudospathaceum under the influence of host species was studied experimentally. Four fish groups - two of Cyprinus carpio and two of Poecilia reticulata - were infected with the cercariae of D. pseudospathaceum originating from two snail species Lymnaea stagnalis and Galba palustris. For analysis of variability 14 characters of 152 metacercariae were measured and 8 indices were calculated. The morphometric data of the four experimental groups were examined statistically using a two way analysis of variance. The metacercariae of the four examined groups show highly significant variation in almost all analyzed characters. For particular characters a highly significant fish and snail host influence on the variation was noted. The source of variation was analyzed and the variability of previously investigated D. paracaudum was compared.
