How trematodes cause limb deformities in amphibians

We used trematode cyst infestation to induce limb deformities in two species of frogs of the genus Rana and compared them to deformities induced by surgical limb bud rotations. The specific deformities produced by both treatments closely resemble those of wild‐caught deformed amphibians and are cons...
