In the latter case, the testes often turn into ovaries, but there is generally no significant change in secondary sexual characteristics. In addition to the parasitic relationships between crustaceans, there are also examples such as the case where the mesozoan orthozoan Rhopalura ophiocomae parasitizes the genital cavity of the hermaphroditic brittle star Amphiura squamata , suppressing ovarian development, and the case where the flatworm trematodes Sporocyst and Redia parasitize the ovaries or testes of their intermediate host snails, destroying these reproductive glands when they directly parasitize the ovaries or testes. There are various theories about the mechanism of parasitic castration, which seek to attribute the cause to changes in the host's substance metabolism or hormone secretion, but none is universally accepted. *Some of the terminology that mentions "Rhopalura ophiocomae" is listed below.
