| Within the snail, the miracidium transforms into a sporocyst, which divides and eventually produces thousands of cercariae. |
| Total RNA was isolated separately from miracidia, sporocysts, cercariae, schistosomulum, and male and female adult worms. |
| Tadpoles in ponds with snails pick up trematode larvae, called cercariae. |
| Through a complex process of asexual replication, each miracidium larva gives rise to dozens, or even hundreds, of cercariae. |
| Serum cytokines of the 20Krad-irradiated Schistosoma mansoni cercariae vaccinated, primary and superinfected Cercopethicus aethiops aethiops. |
| Only the tadpoles that were exposed to cercariae developed deformities. |
