cercaria |
A free-swimming larval stage of trematodes (also known as parasitic flatworms or flukes) during which the parasitic fluke typically passes from an intermediate host (often a snail) to another intermediate host or to the final vertebrate host. Cercaria can develop from the sporocyst stage or from the redial stage of the trematode depending on species. |
