Habitat: live in the duct system of the liver!

Between any three liver cells there is a bile capillary (Bile Canaliculus) Flukes feed on epithelial cells, blood, and mucous caused by destruction of these cells!

Life Cycles! Liver fluke of ruminants and man: Fasiola hepatica, Fasciola gigantica and Fascioloides magna!Liver fluke of ruminants and man: Fasiola hepatica, Fasciola gigantica and Fascioloides magna!

Life Cycles of Ruminant Liver Flukes First intermediate hosts are snails in the family Lymnaeidae (pond snails): these are aquatic and semi- aquatic snails.First intermediate hosts are snails in the family Lymnaeidae (pond snails): these are aquatic and semi- aquatic snails.

Liver flukes of ruminants (aquatic life cycle).

Eggs of Fasciola hepatica Eggs are X μm; golden brown, indistinct operculum, and unembryonated.

Miricidia develop in the egg (9-10 days) in the external environment, hatch and infect snail 1 st IH

In the snail they develop sporocysts, 2 redia generations which release cercariae into the external aquatic environment! (five to seven weeks)

Cercariae encyst as metacercariae on aquatic vegetation! Grass and water cress are typical 2 nd IH
