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.
