Question

Which of the following statements about schistosome eggs is correct? All schistosofne eggs have a spine although it varies in size and position between species. The egg spine is sharp and this coupled with the movements of the miracidium inside the egg, forces the egg through the host tissues. The eggs secrete protease enzymes that digest the surrounding host tissues and this enables them to reach the lumen of the gut or bladder. The eggs stimulate a granulomatous immune reaction The eggs hatch inside the host and the miracidium physically and chemically bores its way through the host tissues until it reaches the lumen of the gut or bladder.
