Philophthalmus lacrimosus is a species of trematodes in the family Philophthalmidae.
Life cycle
[edit]Philophthalmus lacrimosus, as adults, parasitize the eyes of birds (definitive host).[2] Eggs containing miracidia hatch in the water, miracidia penetrate snails[which?] (intermediate hosts) and develop into redia and cercariae.[2] When the metacercariae encyst on surfaces of food for birds the infection of a new definitive host can take place by entering the eye or by oral intake.[2]
Human infections
[edit]Human cases of philophthalmosis have been reported in Yugoslavia, Israel, Asia (Thailand, Sri Lanka, Japan) and the Americas, specifically in Mexico and the United States.[2]
