- Is it more beneficial for Neodermata to have one host or two hosts? Neodermatahas two classes: class Trematoda and class Monogenea. Class Trematoda has the subclass Digenea, which has organisms that live through at least two different hosts. An example of this is Fasciola hepatica, the sheep's liver fluke. Class Monogenea has organisms that only need to live through one host. Is it better to have a simple or complex life cycle? Which lives longer? Has more energy?
