- •
We investigated infection by C. solearis in a P. argus population in Mexico.
- •
Metacercariae encyst in both abdominal and cephalothoracic muscles.
- •
Average prevalence was 11.7% but probability of infection increased with lobster size.
- •
Prevalence varied with season but was consistently higher in one of three bay zones.
- •
The first intermediate host and effects of C. solearis on P. argus remain unknown.
