eFigure 37–27. Adult trematodes. Clonorchis sinensis adults are flattened and measure approximately 10–25 mm long by 3–5 mm wide. Like other flukes, they are hermaphroditic, with a single ovary situated anterior to two branches testes. Adults reside in the biliary passages of the liver of the definitive host. A: Adult of C sinensis. B: Adult of C sinensis stained with carmine. Clearly visible in this image are the oral sucker (OS), pharynx (PH), ceca (CE), acetabulum, or ventral sucker (AC), uterus (UT), vitellaria (VT) and testes (TE). (From Global Health, Division of Parasitic Diseases and Malaria, CDC.) A photo and a diagram of adult trematodes.

eFigure 37–36. Life cycle of Ascaris lumbricoides (the giant roundworm of humans). Adult worms , live in the lumen of the small intestine. A female may produce approximately 200,000 eggs per day, which are passed with the feces . Unfertilized eggs may be ingested but are not infective. Fertile eggs embryonate and become infective after 18 days to several weeks , depending on the environmental conditions (optimum: moist, warm, shaded soil). After infective eggs are swallowed , the larvae hatch , invade the intestinal mucosa, and are carried via the portal, then systemic circulation to the lungs . The larvae mature further in the lungs (10–14 days), penetrate the alveolar walls, ascend the bronchial tree to the throat, and are swallowed . Upon reaching the small intestine, they develop into adult worms. Between 2 and 3 months are required from ingestion of the infective eggs to oviposition by the adult female. Adult worms can live 1–2 years. (From Global Health, Division of Parasitic Diseases and Malaria, CDC.) A flowchart of the life cycle of Ascaris lumbricoides.

eFigure 37–39. Life cycles of Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus (human hookworms). Eggs are passed in the stool , and under favorable conditions (moisture, warmth, shade), larvae hatch in 1–2 days. The released rhabditiform larvae grow in the feces or the soil, or both , and after 5–10 days (and two molts) they become filariform (third-stage) larvae that are infective . These infective larvae can survive 3–4 weeks in favorable environmental conditions. On contact with the human host, the larvae penetrate the skin and are carried through the blood vessels to the heart and then to the lungs. They penetrate into the pulmonary alveoli, ascend the bronchial tree to the pharynx, and are swallowed . The larvae reach the small intestine, where they reside and mature into adults. Adult worms live in the lumen of the small intestine, where they attach to the intestinal wall with resultant blood loss by the host . Most adult worms are eliminated in 1–2 years, but the longevity may reach several years. Some A duodenale larvae, following penetration of the host skin, can become dormant (in the intestine or muscle). In addition, infection by A duodenale may probably also occur by the oral and transmammary route. N americanus, however, requires a transpulmonary migration phase.
