Microscopy
Below two
images showing one of the types of cercaria (Austrobilharzia
variglandis)
which can cause cercarial dermatitis. Diagnostic characteristics include
the following:
- Forked-tail
- Presence
of "eye-spots"
Proper identification
of cercariae which may cause cercarial dermatitis is best left to investigators
with a good background in trematode morphology as well as malacology.
