Q

Using two different intermediate hosts, describe the life cycle of the lancet fluke.

A

Snail (first intermediate host) consumes the fluke egg and coughs out cercariae (fluke undergoes the sporocyst stage within snail). The “slime ball” is then eating by an ant; the metacercariae emerge and affect the ant so that it latches onto a grassblade with its mandibles when environmental temperatures fall (usually night). The ant/grassblade/metcercaria is then consumed by the sheep in early morning hours, and the juvenile fluke enters the bile duct and grows into an adult.

Q

What pathogenetic effects do Dicrocoelium dendriticum cause?

A

Primarily, they block the bile duct, but they also consume solid tissue within the body.
