Identification of Putative Neuropeptides That Alter the Behaviour of Schistosoma mansoni Cercariae
Elucidating the infectivity of Schistosoma mansoni, one of the main etiological agents of human schistosomiasis, requires an improved understanding of the behavioural mechanisms of cercariae, the non-feeding mammalian infective stage.

A Faunistic Survey of Cercariae from Fresh Water Snails: Melanopsis spp. and their Role in Transmission Diseases [PDF]
Snail transmitted diseases are one of the major group of helminth parasitic diseases which have been established by trematode parasites. The larvae of trematodes (cercariae) use the snails as host.

Visual illustration of cercariae swimming.
During active swimming, most cercariae are found in the water column, while almost no cercariae can be seen at the bottom of the culture well. As cercariae hone, more of them can be seen at the bottom of the well when observed at higher magnification.

EKOLOGICAL-FAUNAL ANALYSES OF THE TREMATODES OF WATER-MARSH BIRDS OF THE TRANSBOUNDARY JANDAN LAKE
In 2000-08 in the Jandar Lake, which is situated on the territories of Azerbaijan and Georgia, the author studied waterfowls of 23 species and found 35 species of trematodes. Trematode fauna was richer in birds with a wider range of food and bigger sizes,

No Tail No Fail: Life Cycles of the Zoogonidae (Digenea)
The Zoogonidae is the only digenean family where known cercariae lack the tail but actively search for the second intermediate host. However, the data on the zoogonid life cycles are scarce. In the present study, we elucidated and verified life cycles of
