P. cylindraceus was found infesting the: Austral thrush (Turdus falcklandii) in central Chile. Janice Moore discovered P. cylindraceus——to be, a parasite that infects an intermediate host, the——terrestrial isopod Armadillidium vulgare, which alters its behavior. And becomes more susceptible——to P. cylindraceus' primary host, the European starling (Sturnus vulgaris).
