Morphological Characterization of Emerging Cercariae among Lymnaeid Snails from Barangay Cawongan, Padre Garcia, Batangas, Philippines

<div>SEM images of three distinct cercariae that emerged from lymnaeid snails. (1) Echinostome cercaria showing a crown of spine (collar of spines). (2) Virgulate xiphidiocercaria. (3)-(4) Longifurcate-pharyngeate distome cercariae (<i>Strigea</i> cercariae). OS: oral sucker, VS: ventral sucker, FT: fork-tailed, CS: collar of spines.</div>
