| |
| − | |q5=Why is ''Dicrocoelium'' less pathogenic than ''Fasciola''?
| |
| − | |a5=Migrates directly up the common bile duct and therefore does NOT migrate through the parenchyma (unlike ''Fasciola'')

| |
| − | |a7=
| |
| − | *The eggs have a spike to help them work their way into the intestine or urinary bladder
| |
