Intermediate host - snail definitive host - cattle/sheep
Flukes belong to the group of invertebrates known as flatworms, specifically within the class Trematoda. They are parasitic organisms that typically inhabit the bodies of various hosts, including humans and animals. Flukes have complex life cycles that often involve multiple hosts and can cause various health issues in their hosts.
monogenea are ectoparasitic while trematoda are endoparasitic
Trematoda, commonly known as flukes, primarily move using their muscular bodies and cilia. They possess a layer of ciliated cells that help them glide through their aquatic environments. In addition, their muscular contractions allow them to navigate through tissues in their hosts. Some species may also utilize a form of creeping movement by contracting and expanding their body.
Trematoda
It belongs to the invertebrate class: Trematoda
trematoda and monogenea
Flukes
Cestoda, Turbellaria, Trematoda, and Monogenea
Trematoda are more evolutionarily advanced because they show the traits of cephalization, an organ system, and have a lophophore. While nematoda have none of these traits.
They enter in through the water.
