Identify the larval stages in the development of liver fluke:
Show Hint
Remember the liver fluke larval sequence: Miracidium → Sporocyst → Redia → Cercaria.

- Veliger, Trochophore, Sporocyst, Planula
- Sporocyst, Planula, Trochophore, Redia
- Miracidium, Sporocyst, Redia, Cercaria
- Planula, Sporocyst, Muller, Trochophore
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The liver fluke (\textit{Fasciola hepatica}) is a digenetic parasite with a complex life cycle that includes multiple larval stages:
% Option
(A) Miracidium – free-swimming larva that infects a snail (intermediate host)
% Option
(B) Sporocyst – sac-like structure inside the snail
% Option
(C) Redia – larval form developing inside sporocyst
% Option
(D) Cercaria – leaves the snail and encysts as metacercaria on vegetation
Stages like Planula, Veliger, or Trochophore are associated with other invertebrates like cnidarians or mollusks, not flatworms.
