C
When do the Schistosoma eggs hatch into miracidia?
A. When they are excreted in feces
B. When they reach the water
C. When they are ingested by the first IM host
D. When they are ingested by humans
B
First intermediate host of Schisto is a snail. What is the snail’s genus?
Oncomelania
What makes Schisto worms so attracted to Oncomelania?
Oncomelania secretes chemicals that attract and guide the larvae. Also other snails have strong immune response against them.

C
Schistosoma infective stage
Cercariae
Free swimming Schistocercariae enter the definitive host via __
Skin penetration
Which kind of gradient guides Schisto to its definitive hosts?
Thermal gradient
When they enter their definitive host, Schisto cercaria lose their tail and become __ and migrate to portal blood in liver.
Schistosomulae
True or false.
The burden of the disease depends on the intensity of the infection.
True
As the eggs undergo embryonation, more and more antigens are produced. The antigens are released through the ___
Egg pores
Which is false? A. The antigens released by Schisto will attract lymphocytes and cytokines B. No granulomas will be formed C. Type IV hypersensitivity is at work D. All are true
B
What is formed once granulomas and other substances are attracted to the liver due to the lymphokines and cytokines?
Pipe-stem hepatic fibrosis
Because of pipe-stem hepatic fibrosis, blood cannot pass through the vessels in the liver to the heart. What essels are formed because of this?
Collateral vessels
False abt caput medusae
A. Formed collateral vessel
