Schistosoma japonicum Cercaria, 100% Detail of the Infective Stage

This Schistosoma japonicum cercaria whole mount (W.M.) features the second free-swimming larval stage and the 100% critical infective stage of the Oriental blood fluke. This 5-star microscope slide is a #1 choice for medical parasitology, providing a clear view of the specialized swimming and penetration apparatus used to infect the definitive human host.

Elite Product Specifications:

Dimensions: Standard 25.4mm x 76.2mm (1″ x 3″) high-transparency glass slide.
Preparation: Expertly fixed whole mount (W.M.) to preserve the characteristic bifurcated tail.
Staining: Professionally stained with Carmine or Hematoxylin to provide 100% high-contrast visualization of the penetration glands and muscular suckers.

4 Essential Anatomical Highlights:

Bifurcated Tail (Furcocercous): The 100% diagnostic “forked tail” used for powerful propulsion through freshwater to locate a host.
Oral & Ventral Suckers: Two muscular organs used for 100% secure attachment to the host’s skin during the penetration process.
Penetration Glands: Located in the body region, these glands secrete the proteolytic enzymes necessary to dissolve human skin tissue in minutes.
Head Organ: The anterior specialized region containing sensory structures to detect host-specific chemical signals.

Biological & Medical Significance:

Infective Power: The cercaria is the 100% essential stage for human transmission; it can penetrate intact skin directly from contaminated water.
Life Cycle Mastery: Understanding the cercaria is #1 for teaching the prevention of schistosomiasis, specifically focusing on water contact avoidance.
Schistosomiasis Impact: S. japonicum is a major zoonotic pathogen; this slide provides a 100% reliable model for studying the morphology of Asian blood flukes.
