|q1=What are the most diagnostic features of the ''Fasciola hepatica'' egg?
|a1=
*Oval and brown
*Granular contents
*Operculum ('trap-door') at one end
*Double the size of a typical strongyle egg
|l1=:Category:Trematodes#Life-cycle stages
|q2=Fill in the missing words about ''Lymnaea truncatula'':
<p>''Lymnaea truncatula'' is the intermediate host for (???). It is found in ???, and feeds on ???. It has a ??? with 5-6 spirals.</p>
|a2=
*Fasciola hepatica
*muddy areas
*slimy green algae
*brown-black shell
|l2=Fasciola#Lymnaea truncatula
|q3=What is the post mortem appearance of the liver in cases of acute fasciolosis?
|a3=
*Haemorrhagic tracts
*Enlarged, pale and friable
|l3=Fasciola#Pathogenesis of acute fasciolosis
|q4=What time of year do the clinical signs of chronic fasciolosis become apparent?
|a4=January - March
|l4=Fasciola#Chronic fasciolosis
|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'')
|l5=Dicrocoelium#Dicrocoelium dendriticum
|q6=Is ''Paramphistomum'' found in the UK?
|a6=Rare in the UK, but can cause severe losses in ruminants in the wet tropics
|l6=Paramphistomum#Paramphistomum Species
|q7=What is the major cause of pathogenicity in schistosome infections?
|a7=
*The eggs have a spike to help them work their way into the intestine or urinary bladder
*This causes mechanical damage and inflammatory responses that are exacerbated by antigens released by the eggs
|l7=Schistosoma#Schistosoma Species
