The Fluke: The fluke is an internal parasite usually living in the host's liver. There are several species of fluke, the sheep liver fluke and Chinese liver fluke. Flukes must spend their intermediate development in special types of snails. If the snail is not present the life cycle of the fluke will end. Humans pick up flukes in several ways: Eating infected fish and walking barefooted in infected waters. Flukes contain 2 suckers on its body, one ventral and the other anterior. They have a well developed digestive system and reproduce hermaphroditically. Their eggs leave the body with the solid waste of the host.
