Answer» Correct Answer - C Statements II, IV, VI are correct Wuchereria bancrofti commonly called filarial worm is a digenetic, dimorphic, pseudocoelomate, histozoic and pathogenic parasite. It is digenetic because it has two stages of multiplication in two different hosts, one sexual in the mature form, the other asexual in larval stages. It is a histozoic parasite as it lives in the tissue outside of a cell body. |
