Ribeiroia (/raɪˈbɪəriːə/) is a genus of trematode parasites that sequentially infect freshwater snails in the family Planorbidae (ramshorn snails) as first intermediate hosts, fish and larval amphibians as second intermediate hosts, and birds and mammals as definitive hosts (see ). In North America, infection by Ribeiroia has been linked to amphibians with limb malformations. The connection between parasitic infection and limb malformations has generated questions about (a) whether parasite-induced malformations in amphibians are increasing (see ), and (b) the consequences of such abnormalities for amphibian population conservation (see ).

  • Ribeiroia é um género de tremátode parasita que infecta rãs. Os parasitas causam deformações no membros dos animais infectados. Inicialmente suspeitava-se que estas deformações poderiam resultar de maior exposição dos embriões a luz ultravioleta decorrente do buraco do ozono ou de poluição decorrente do uso de pesticidas.

  • Ribeiroia (лат.) — род паразитических плоских червей из класса трематод. Последовательно заражают улиток семейства Planorbidae в качестве первого промежуточного хозяина, рыб и личинок амфибий в качестве вторых промежуточных хозяев, затем птиц и млекопитающих в качестве окончательного хозяина.
