• Complex life cycle
• Intermediate host – larvae of the worm (immature worm), asexual reproduction takes place
• Definitive host – adult worm (mature worm), sexual reproduction takes place.
• Flukes – flat leaf like body
• hermaphroditic

• Adult worm – bile ducts of humans• Eggs are released in the feces• When it reaches a body of water larva comes
out• Ingested by a specific species of snail• Asexual reproduction takes place• Larvae come out of the snail• Penetrates a fish and forms a cyst in the fish• When people eat undercooked, contaminated
fish larvae end up in the bile ducts• Develop into adult worms• Cycle continues
