1A parasitic fluke in the initial stage of infection in a snail host, developed from a miracidium.
〔动〕包蚴
Example sentencesExamples
Primary sporocysts were obtained after overnight axenic culture of miracidia as described.
Second, it can encyst inside a daughter sporocyst as a metacercariae, be voided with the sporocyst, and then be consumed by the benthic-feeding definitive host, rosyside dace.
Once it reaches the final site, the larva transforms into a sporocyst, which is little more than an amorphous, germinal sac.
Eggs are produced and hatch inside the daughter sporocysts, releasing free-swimming miracidia.
These daughter sporocysts, containing encysted metacercariae, were then voided in the feces of the snail.
1.1(in parasitic sporozoans) an encysted zygote in an invertebrate host.
