Study Notes
Fecal Sedimentation
- This is a method used to identify parasitic flukes in fecal matter.
- The method is known to be effective in identifying the biggest flukes.
Endemic to North America
- The parasite in this instance is endemic to North America
Human Parasite
- The parasite is a human parasite.
Infectious Metacercaria
- The parasitic metacercaria is found on plants.
- The parasite's infection occurs when humans or pigs eat these contaminated plants.
Diagnostic Eggs
- Diagnostic eggs of the parasite can be observed in fecal matter using a fecal sedimentation method.
Metacercaria Inhibits Development
- Metacercaria inhibits the development of legs in the host.
Increased Viskness
- The parasite infection in the host often leads to increased viscosity of the host.
- The host may display multiple legs as an effect of being infected with the organism.
