Q

What is inside a redia

25
Q

Why does the Cercarial stage have

A

Has a tail, to allow swimming

26
Q

What are the three options for cercariae once he is out of the snail

A

Penetrate the skin
Attach to vegetation and encyst
Penetrate a second incidental host

27
Q

When the cercariae exits the snail how does it penetrate the host and cost

A

Swimmers itch. Duck is definitive host. does not develop further in humans.
