Regeneration
What is the symbiotic relationship between fluke eggs and snails?
Fluke eggs are consumed by snails, where they hatch and develop into larvae. The larvae then leave the snail and infect other hosts to continue their life cycle. This relationship benefits the flukes by providing a suitable environment for their development, and benefits the snails by potentially reducing parasite load.
Is a blood fluke a roundworm?

What are the hosts for the fluke?
Snails, and eventually attach to grass along a waters edge for growth.

How does a blood fluke enter its primary host?
Through the blood vessels.
What is the relationship between Blood flukes and snails?
Blood flukes have a complex life cycle that involves both humans and snails. The adult parasite lives in the blood vessels of humans, where it produces eggs that are passed out in feces. These eggs hatch in water, infecting specific freshwater snails. Within the snail, the parasite undergoes development before being released back into the water to infect humans again.
Is the liver fluke parasitic?
Yes they are parasites. The adult liver fluke live in the livers of mammals and feed on blood.
Is a liver fluke is a parasite?
Yes they are parasites. The adult liver fluke live in the livers of mammals and feed on blood.
The liver fluke eats what kind of food?
The liver fluke feeds off blood from different organisms such as dogs or people.
What is the relationship between fluke and snail?
Blood flukes infect humans, but they use water snails as an intermediate host. Their life cycle is as follows: 1. eggs released in water hatch 2. larvae infect water snails 3. in snail larvae develop into a different stage larvae which are again released in the water 4. these larvae can penetrate the skin of human hosts 5. in humans the blood flukes mature and settle in veins around the gut or bladder 6. mature blood flukes produce new eggs which are released in water 7. goto 1.
What does a liver fluke worm eat?
The blood or body of its host!
