	abstract = {<p>The size, migration activity and pathogenity of Diphyllobothrium dendriticum {\{}(Cestoda){\}} plerocercoids in the intermediate host were studied experimentally in age 1+ brown trout Salmo trutta m. lacustris {\{}(L.).{\}} In the first experiment {\{}(A){\}} which lasted 12 weeks, two water temperatures were used: heated water at about {\{}15{\{}$\backslash$textdegree{\}}C{\}} and non-heated at about {\{}10{\{}$\backslash$textdegree{\}}C.{\}} In the second experiment {\{}(B){\}} which lasted 7 weeks, the water tempera- ture was raised gradually to {\{}24\&ndash;26{\{}$\backslash$textdegree{\}}C.{\}} Increased water temperature did not promote D. dendriticum-induced mortality in either of the experimental conditions. Experiment A revealed, however, that the worms were longer and migrated more actively outside the body cavity of fish in heated aquaria.</p>
