.1. Infection withDiplostomulum phoxiniis very common among minnows in the Glasgow area of Scotland.2. The first intermediate host of the parasite in this area is shown to be the freshwater snailLymnaea peregra.3. Adult flukes were obtained experimentally in mice, ducklings and herring-gull chicks.4. Significant differences are shown to occur between adult flukes recovered from different host species.5. The implications of these findings in relation to the host specificity and the classification of the Strigeida are briefly discussed.

Nutrition is important for human health in all stages of life - from conception to old age. Today we know much more about the molecular basis of nutrition. Most importantly, we have learnt that micronutrients, among other factors, interact with genes, and new science is increasingly providing more tools to clarify this interrelation between health and nutrition. Sufficient intake of vitamins is essential to achieve maximum health benefit. It is well established that in developing countries, millions of people still suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. However, it is far less recognized that we face micronutrient insufficiencies also in developed countries.
