Microphallus is a genus of parasitic trematodes (flukes) in the family Microphallidae.
They are parasitic on a variety of molluscs, crustaceans, birds, and mammals, some species having complex life cycles involving more than one host.

However, in defiance of the classical interpretation of the gigantic growth of infected snails as a side effect of parasitic castration, the presented study failed to demonstrate that Microphallus piriformes causes gigantism in Littorina.
The daughter sporocysts of Microphallus pseudopygmaeus were located in the Onoba aculeus gonads.
Microphallus piriformes sporocysts were located in the gonad - digestive gland complex of both Littorina species.

 Reproductive Health | Full text | Clinical and inheritance profiles of Kallmann syndrome in Jordan
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the presentation modalities, phenotypes and the modes of inheritance among 32 patients with Kallmann syndrome in Jordan, which may contribute to the recognition of the syndrome and the provision of adequate management and genetic counselling.
Prospective evaluation was performed including pedigree construction (fig 1), and complete clinical examination with special emphasis on assessment of anosmia, the presence of mirror image movements (synkinesia) and examination of external genitalia.
Microphallus was present among 17/26 (65%) patients in this study, with several other patients reporting a history of treatment with testosterone; the exact number of treated patients or the treatment profile could not be precisely determined.

Similarly, we monitored changes in the parasite population, focusing on the dominant parasite, Microphallus sp., by calculating the frequency of clones in samples of infected individuals from the same collections.
Estimated Microphallus infection rate (circles and dashed line), total infection rate (squares and solid line), and frequency in the random sample (bar graph) of the four common clones.
The changes in infection frequencies were estimated from the between-year differences in the host-clone frequencies in the Microphallus "infected sample." (A) shows the correlation between changes in host-clone frequencies (years y and y+1) in the random sample and the time-lagged changes (years y+1 and y+2) in the infection frequencies.

Thus the induction of defense was not as effective at combating the apparently co-evolved parasites as it was in combating the remote sources of parasites.
Embryonated Microphallus eggs are ingested from sediment and hatch in the snail's gut, penetrate the intestine, and migrate to the gonads and digestive gland.
Similarly, snails infected by mature Microphallus metacercariae were also deleted from the analysis because they were assumed to be already infected when collected in the field [17,36].

Background: The criterion for microphallus, or micropenis, is a stretched penile length of less than 2 standard deviations (SDs) below the mean for age.
Traditionally, the term micropenis refers to a penis that is otherwise normally formed, and the term microphallus has been used when associated hypospadia is present.
In addition, microphallus can also occur in children with androgen receptor defects or 5-alpha reductase deficiency (failure of conversion of testosterone to DHT).

However, the family needs to be intimately involved in this decision, and counseling from a center with a multidisciplinary team skilled at gender reassignment should be pursued.
Sex: By definition, microphallus is an exclusively male condition.
However, distinguishing between a male with micropenis and cryptorchidism and a female with clitoromegaly is important and may be difficult.

Host-parasite interactions that result in host castration are evolutionarily similar to predator-prey interactions because both interactions terminate reproduction for the host or prey.
Here we exposed juvenile snails (Potamopyrgus antipodalum) to infection by a digenetic trematode (Microphallus sp.) in order to determine whether: (1) pre-reproductive individuals could be infected, (2) individuals that were exposed to infection shifted resources to early reproduction (fecundity compensation), and (3) infected individuals exhibit altered growth rates relative to uninfected individuals.
