Metacercariae

Metacercariae

Metacercariae are minute cases, usually round or spherical, which house intermediate stages of parasites. They are ingested by the final stage host, allowing the lifecycle to continue. Humans acquire Clonorchiasis also known as biliary trematodiasis by ingesting encysted metacercariae in undercooked or raw fish.
