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.

What is the life cycle of a blood fluke?

Male deposits Sperm in the female worm. lays her eggs in the host. Egg leaves host in Urine and Feces. If egg lands in water infects snails. After they leave the snail, the young worms burrow into the skin of a new host, such as a human, while he or she is standing or swimming in water.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Inside their human host, the blood flukes grow, become sexually mature, and mate. After mating, the newly fertilized eggs are passed out of the host in their feces. Upon leaving the host, each egg hatches into a ciliated, swimming larva, called miracidium. This larva infects a certain type of freshwater snail and reproduces asexually inside it. In time, fork-tailed swimming larvae develop and leave the snail, swimming about until they contact human skin. Upon finding a human host, the fork-tailed larvae burrow into their human host. Once inside, they migrate to the host’s intestinal veins and begin the cycle anew.
