- sporocyst
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000707"] :life-stage/definition A sac-like secondary larval stage. The miracidium transforms into a primary (mother) sporocyst\; germ cells within the primary sporocyst begin dividing to produce secondary (daughter) sporocysts, which migrate to the snail hepatopancreas\; once at the hepatopancreas, germ cells within the secondary sporocyst begin to divide again, this time producing cercariae.
