Digenea - Key features.
Characteristic features of the digenea include a tegument. They possess a vermiform, unsegmented body-plan.
There are typically 2 suckers, an anterior oral sucker surrounding the mouth, and a ventral sucker sometimes termed the acetabulum, on the ventral surface.
Monostome is a term used to describe worms with one sucker (oral). Flukes with an oral sucker and an acetabulum at the posterior end of the body are called Amphistomes. Distomes are flukes with an oral sucker and a ventral sucker, but the ventral sucker if somewh ...

| | | | Digenea - Key features: Encyclopedia II - Digenea - Human digenean infections Only about 12 of the 6,000 known species are infectious to mankind, but some of these species are important diseases with of 200 million people infected world wide. The species that infect humans can be divided into groups, the Schistosomiasomes and the non-Schistosomiasomes.
Digenea - Schistosomiasomes.
The Schistosomiasomes are all parasites of the circulatory system of their primary host, meaning they live and feed inside the blood vessels. Because of this they are all very thin animals, ranging in size ...

| | | | Digenea - Key features: Encyclopedia II - Digenea - Life cycles Digenean fluke eggs leave the vertebrate host in faeces and use various strategies to infect the first intermediate host, in which sexual reproduction does not occur. Digenes may infect the first intermediate host (usually a snail) by either passive or active means. The eggs of some digenes, for example, are (passively) eaten by snails (or, rarely, by an annelid worm) in which they proceed to hatch. Alternatively, in many digenes, eggs hatch in water to release an actively swimming, ciliated larva, the miracidium, which must locate and pen ...
