Information
Trachelobdella sinensis; Tokyo; shark

Remarks There was "shark" written on the original label. However, elasmobranches have never been reported as hosts for L. okae. Besides, papers that noted this specimen were not found. Therefore, it is impossible to make a reassessment that the term "shark" indicates the host for L. okae.
