Question

Which of the following are intermediate hosts of human liver fluke?

• A. Fish and snail
• B. Fish and slug
• C. Starfish and slug
• D. Snail and slug

Answer 1

The correct option is A Fish and snail

The life cycles of parasites are often complex, involving one or two intermediate hosts or vectors to facilitate parasitisation of its primary host. The human liver fluke (a trematode parasite) depends on two intermediate hosts (a snail and a fish) to complete its life cycle.
