Distribution edit
The type locality of this species is near the village of Kirovo, in the basin of the Bidzan River in Jewish Autonomous Oblast, Khabarovsky District, Russia.[2]
The species is also found in the Illistaya River and the Arsenjevka river (Primorsky Krai).[3]
Parasites edit
Parafossarulus spiridonovi serves as the first intermediate host for the trematode Notocotylus intestinalis (natural infection).[3]
Parafossarulus spiridonovi serves as an intermediate host for the trematode Psilotrema acutilostris.[4]
Parafossarulus spiridonovi serves as the first intermediate host for the trematode Holostephanus nipponicus (experimental infection)[5] and for Echinochasmus spinosus (experimental infection).[6]
Parafossarulus spiridonovi serves as the second intermediate host for the trematode Sphaeridiotrema monorchis (experimental infection).[7]
