WHAT DOES METACERCARIAE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

metacercariae

Trematode lifecycle stages

Trematodes are small parasitic flatworms that use vertebrates as their definitive host, and molluscs as their intermediate host. In order to accomplish this, they have several varied life cycle stages. The life cycle of a typical digenean trematode can be thought to begin when its egg is immersed in water. Following this a miracidium hatches, which swims to find a mollusc host. The miracidia go through several stages in the mollusc host, eventually emerging as motile cercaria larvae. The cercaria either infect vertebrates through the skin or are ingested. In its vertebrate host, the cercaria matures to an adult form, and lays eggs that are discharged with the host faeces or urine. In the presence of open water, the eggs will hatch and the miracidium stage of life is reached again.
