Di(2)-Gene(birth)
• 2 or more hosts• Endoparasitic• No cilia on skin, skin is syncytial • Life cycle:Adults in definitive host (a vertebrate) reproduce
sexually → eggs in host’s feces released into water → hatch into ciliated larva (=miricidium) → snail (intermediate host) → asexual reproduction → sporocyte → redia → cercaria released from snail → metacercaria encysts in 2nd intermediate host (or forage in some cases) → ingested by definitive host
Schistosoma mansoni
200 million infected worldwideLeading cause of death of Egyptian men 20-44 years old Adults live in mesenteric veins, veins associated with bladderDamage caused by unegested eggs (50% never released)Control: clean water, sewage control, snail reductionExacerbating factors: poverty & ignorance, dams
Swimmer’s itch• Schistosoma sp. that infect ducks, muskrat
Blackspot disease: Uvulifer sp.
Fasciola hepatica (sheep liver fluke)F. gigantica (human liver fluke)
Dicrocoelium dendriticum = a bile duct fluke of ruminantssuch as sheep, goats, deer, pigs.

Phylum Platyhelminthes
Class Cestoda - Tapeworms
• Obligate endoparasites of vertebrates
• Lack digestive tract
• Have scolex for attachment to host
• Body divided into proglottids– Each proglottid = egg factory with its own
ovary and testis (make up to 50,000 eggs per proglottid)
– Worm = hundreds to thousands of proglottids
General life cycle of tapeworms
• Adult in intestine of definitive host → proglottids break off and pass with feces → eggs released from proglottid → eaten by intermediate host → oncosphere larva → intermed host ingested by definitive host → adult develops in intestine
Tapeworms
Scolex
Echinococcus granulosis – a tapeworm of dogs & dingoes
Dipylidium caninum
Beef tapeworm: Taenia saginata
Attains a length of 10m
Ligula intestinalis
• Egg → copepod (encycts as a procercoid) → fish (encysts as a plerocercoid larva) → ingested by final host → adult tapeworm in gut of bird
