|q3=What is the post mortem appearance of the liver in cases of acute fasciolosis?
  −
|a3=
  −
*Haemorrhagic tracts

|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

|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
  −
