Popis: The life cycle of Hunterella nodulosa Mackiewicz and McCrae, 1962 is described. Eggs contain oncospheres after 15–16 days at 20 °C. The pattern of growth in size and organ development of procercoids in experimentally infected Limnodrilus udekemianus is described. Catostomus commersoni was successfully infected with procercoids from experimental infections, and development of adults was followed for 50 days. The pattern of growth in size and organ development for adult H. nodulosa is illustrated.
