Clonorchis sinensis eggs. Clonorchis sinensis eggs are small, ranging in size from 27 to 35 µm by 11 to 20 µm. The eggs are oval shaped with a convex operculum that rests on visible “shoulders” at the smaller end of the egg.
Apr 22, 2024 · Freshwater snails can eat the eggs of Clonorchis and become infected, releasing microscopic larvae that then enter freshwater fish. When humans eat raw or undercooked fish with the larvae, these larvae grow into adult flukes. These flukes then live inside the human bile duct system of the liver.
Diagnosis of clonorchiasis is by finding eggs in the feces or duodenal contents. Eggs typically become detectable in the stool only 3 to 4 weeks after infection. The eggs are difficult to distinguish from those of Opisthorchis. Eggs cannot be detected in feces during biliary obstruction.
Dec 19, 2022 · Eggs of C. sinensis enter the water environment from feces (see Image. C Sinensis eggs). These eggs are then consumed by the first intermediate host, the freshwater snails, in which the eggs release miracidia which undergo a series of developmental stages to sporocyst, rediae, and subsequently cercariae.
Production of eggs. The eggs of a C. sinensis are released through the biliary tract, and excreted out along with the faeces. The eggs are embryonated and contain the larvae called miracidia. Unlike most other flukes in which the miracidia undergo development and swim in water to infect suitable host, the eggs of C. sinensis are simply ...

Clonorchis sinensis is hermaphroditic therefore every single sexually mature fluke will produce eggs. Each adult yields a daily production of 4000 eggs for at least six months which are produced by cross-fertilization. The eggs are passed out with the feces of the definitive host.
Jul 6, 2016 · The life stages of C. sinensis include egg (in definitive hosts or water); miracidium, sporocyst, redia, and cercaria (these four stages occur in freshwater snails); metacercaria (in freshwater fish); and adult (in definitive hosts) (Fig. 1) [ 1, 2 ].
Clonorchis sinensis Life Cycle. 1. In the human host, the adult worm releases embryonated eggs through the biliary ducts into the intestine. They are excreted in feces. 2. Eggs are ingested by a snail (the intermediate host); > 100 species of snails can act as intermediate hosts.
