[3] Life cycle of trematodes:
- Egg stage
- Larval stage
- Adult stage
Eggs are operculated.
Trematodes (flukes)
Infective stage to the final host is the metacercaria.
Trematodes (flukes)
Mode of transmission is fecal oral (except Schistosoma spp.)
Trematodes (flukes)
Requires 2 intermediate host.
Trematodes (flukes)
Eggs of most species have a lid called “operculum”.
Trematodes (flukes)
Eggs of most species have a lid called?
operculum
Adult covered by a tegument or skin.
Trematodes (flukes)
Excretory system includes flame cells, capillaries, collecting tubules and an excretory bladder.
Trematodes (flukes)
Ingestion of metacercaria through improperly cooked 2nd I.H
Mode of transmission of Trematodes.
Skin penetration by fork-tailed cercaria in flukes.
Mode of transmission of Trematodes.
[5] Larval stage of Platyhelminthes Trematodes.
- Miracidium
- Sporocyst
- Redia
- Cercariae
- Metacercariae
Free swimming stage; ciliated embryo which hatches in water to penetrate the 1st intermediate host.
[larval stage]
Miracidium
Sac-like structure with germ balls which proliferative; found in snail host.
[larval stage]
Sporocyst
Sac-like structure containing oral sucker, a pharynx, a birth pore, cercariae germ balls and another generation of redia also found in the snail host.
[larval stage]
Redia
Stage in life cycle which emerges from the snail host, all possess tail therefore, they are free swimming.
[larval stage]
Cerceriae
Fond in the 2nd intermediate host.
[larval stage]
Metacercariae
Common name of Fasciola Hepatica.
Temperate liver fluke
Sheep liver fluke
Common name of Fasciola Gigantica.
Tropical liver fluke

Specimen of choice for recovery of the eggs of F. gigantica and F. hepatica is?
Stool
History of eating uncooked water plants from infested locale.
Fasciola’s
Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP).
PCR
It is considered the most important helminth infection of cattle.
Fasciola
Found worldwide, particularly in areas in which sheep and cattle are raised. The natural host for the completion of the F. hepatica lifecycle is the sheep. Human serves as accidental hosts.
Fasciola hepatica
Natural host of Fasciola hepatica lifecycle is?
Sheep
In fasciola, it serves as accidental hosts.
Human
[2] Clinical stages of Fasciolopiasis:
Acute stage
Chronic stage
Larval migration and hepatic migration.
[clinical stage of fasciolapiasis]
Acute stage
Persistence of fasciola worms in the biliary ducts.
[clinical stage of fasciolapiasis]
Chronic stage
