Summary
A sporocyst is a stage in the
Life cycle of certain parasitic flatworms
, particularly within the
Class Trematoda
, where it acts as a
Sac-like structure
that produces
Larval forms
called rediae or cercariae. This stage typically occurs within an
Intermediate Host
, often a mollusk, and is crucial for the
Asexual Reproduction
and
Proliferation of the parasite
before reaching its
Definitive Host
.
