digenetic trematode female sex organ is composed of:

Answer 15

Ovary, oviduct (with
receptaculum semenis, Laurel’s canal), ootype and uterus.

Question 16

a narrow canal opening on the dorsal surface of the body. It serves as an outlet of
injurious materials used for making shells of the eggs

Question 20

life cycle of digenetic trematodes in general

Answer 20

egg-miracidium-sporocyst-redia-cercaria-metacercaria-immature fluke in liver parenchyma-adult fluke in bile ducts

Question 21

what do you call the larva that hatches from the egg

Answer 21

miracidium

Question 22

roughly triangular in shape with ciliated covering and free-swimming in water. They may have anterior spine for boring into the intermediate host which are usually snails.

Answer 22

miracidium

Question 23

After the miracidium penetrates the snail host (IH), the ciliated covering is lost
and eventually becomes a

Answer 23

sporocyst

Question 24

These sporocyst then gives rise to another larval stage known as the

Answer 24

redia

Question 25

The redia has

Answer 25

oral sucker, pharynx, and sac like intestines

Question 26

Furthermore, the redial stage will produce the final stage which is known as

produce from the germinal cells of the sporocyct or redia in other species

Answer 27

cercaria

has suckers, intestines, excretory and nervous systems, special glands and sometimes anterior spine.

Answer 28

cercaria

Question 29

what grows in cercaria which is used for swimming or propelling itself out of the snail

Answer 29

a tail

Question 30

These cercaria may encyst in herbage and
vegetation or second Intermediate hosts. The encysted cercaria is known as the

Answer 30

metacercaria

Question 31

phenomenon of producing many individuals
by single egg/ larva.

Answer 31

paedogenesis/polyembryo

Question 32

Modes of transmission of cercaria to the animal host

Answer 32

1. Dringking water contaminated with cercariae/ metacercariae
2. Ingestion of metacercariae in herbage
3. Ingestion of Intermediate host (snails)
4. Penetration of intact skin by Schistosome cercariae
