With the aim of obtaining the adult phase of Centrocestus formosanus, two mice were feed with juvenile Ictalurus punctatus (from a hatchery in Tamaulipas, Mexico) gills, which were infected with C. formosanus metacercariae. After seven days, mice were euthanized and parasites found in the digestive tract were fixed, and conserved in 70% alcohol. Parasites were processed with standard protocols for flatworms. The specimens obtained fit morphological and morphometrically with Centrocestus formosanus. In the present manuscript morphometric data not previously considered are reported. To our knowledge, this is the first study of adults of C. formosanus obtained experimentally of metacercariae from channel catfish.
