In the life cycles of most digenetic trematodes, cercariae encyst in or on a second intermediate host, forming a metacercariae (singular = metacercaria). When the second intermediate host is eaten the metacercariae excyst in the definitive host's intestinal tract, thus establishing an infection. A specialized type of metacercaria, the "neascus metacercaria," is found in the genus Uvulifer. It causes "black spot" in fish. The following images are metacercariae.
