Fasciolopsis buski life cycle
  • The eggs go through the hosts feces
  • Then a free swimming miracidium
  • The miracidium infects first host to come along
  • The miracidium reproduces aseually in organism
    and creates cercariae
  • The cercariae leaves host and live in a
    vegetation habitat then producing metacercariae
  • The metacercaria is indigested by the host and
    lives in the small intestine then the adult
    matures in the small intestine and reproduces
