Eggs of these trematodes are shed in the feces of aquatic birds and released into water. Aquatic birds become hosts of this parasite by ingesting infected freshwater fish. The wiktionary:metacercariae, metacercariae are found right beneath the skin or in the muscles of host fish. The life cycle of the fluke consists of two intermediate hosts and one definitive host.
