- W2183687488 abstract "Adult medicinal leeches ( Hirudo verbana) were obtained from a co mmercial leech farm. The feeding strategies o f hungry leeches w ere analysed on re presentative individuals kep t in a quaria. As ho st organisms, cane toads ( Bufo m arinus) an d Oriental fire-bellied toads ( Bombina orientalis) were selected because these amphibians have not yet been experimentally exposed to H. verbana and are known to protect themselves by poisonous secretions. The leeches rapidly attached to t he toads, explored the body and sucked blood from unprotected regions (feet, belly). Large cane toads survived these attacks, but the much sm aller host organisms ( B. orientalis) were killed. The leeches also a ttacked dead a mphibians by creeping into t he body of the host and s ucking blood f rom the interior or gans. Hungry two-eyed f lat leeches ( Helobdella stagnalis ) rapidly attached t o t he body of satiated medi cinal leeches. However, they did not suck blood, as reported in the literature. It follows that only the first stage of hyperparasitism (one parasite f eeding on a second parasite) occurred i n t he leech popul ation i nvestigated he re." @default.
