What is the Ascaris larva called?

Correct answer: B. Rhabditiform

  • A. Cysticercus
  • B. Rhabditiform
  • C. Hexacanth
  • D. Onchosphere

Explanation

In Ascaris, the rhabditiform larva in the first stage is not infective. In a week's time, it moults within the egg shell and becomes a second stage rhabditoid which is capable of infecting the host. Cysticercus, hexacanth and onchosphere are the larval stages of Taenia.
