Contracaecum is a genus of parasitic nematodes from the family Anisakidae. These nematodes are parasites of warm-blooded, fish eating animals, i.e. mammals and birds, as sexually mature adults. The eggs and the successive stages of their larvae use invertebrates and increasing size classes of fishes as intermediate hosts.
Radopholus similis is a species of nematode known commonly as the burrowing nematode. [1] It is a parasite of plants, and it is a pest of many agricultural crops. It is an especially important pest of bananas , and it can be found on coconut , avocado , coffee , sugarcane , other grasses , and ornamentals .
The nematode moves through pores in the soil, and finds a root to feed on. It inserts its stylet into an epidermal cell on the plant, feeds for a certain amount of time, then moves along to a different locations, and feeds on a different root.

The microfilaria (plural microfilariae, sometimes abbreviated mf) is an early stage in the life cycle of certain parasitic nematodes in the family Onchocercidae. [1] In these species, the adults live in a tissue or the circulatory system of vertebrates (the "definitive hosts"). They release microfilariae into the bloodstream of the vertebrate host.
Life cycle of Dioctophyme renale. Adult Dioctophyme renale inhabit the kidney (typically the right kidney). [2] [6] Females produce eggs which are passed in urine. In aquatic environments, eggs embryonate after 15–100 days. [4] These eggs are ingested by an aquatic oligochaete, hatch, penetrate blood vessels, and develop into a stage three ...
Tylenchulus semipenetrans, also known as the citrus nematode or citrus root nematode, is a species of plant pathogenic nematodes and the causal agent of slow decline of citrus. T. semipenetrans is found in most citrus production areas and diverse soil textures worldwide. Their feeding strategy is semi-endoparasitic and has a very narrow host ...
The life cycle of a typical trematode begins with an egg. Some trematode eggs hatch directly in the environment (water), while others are eaten and hatched within a host, typically a mollusc. The hatchling is called a miracidium, a free-swimming, ciliated larva. Miracidia will then grow and develop within the intermediate host into a sac-like ...
