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 ...
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.

In dogs and cats, eggs of Capillaria plica are released in the urine of the mammalian definitive host. First stage larvae (L1) develop within the eggshell in 30–36 days. When eaten by the intermediate host-- earthworms of the genera Lumbricus or Dendrobaena—the L1 larvae hatch in the earthworm's intestine.
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.
The life cycle of C. hepatica may be completed in a single host species. However, the eggs, which are laid in the liver, must mature outside of the host body (in the environment) prior to infecting a new host. [1] Death and decomposition of the host in which the adults reach sexual maturity are necessary for completion of the life cycle.
Mammomonogamus is a genus of parasitic nematodes of the family Syngamidae that parasitise the respiratory tracts of cattle, sheep, goats, deer, cats, orangutans, and elephants. The nematodes can also infect humans and cause the disease called mammomonogamiasis. [ 1 ]
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 resultant disease is called alveolar echinococcosis, and is caused by ingesting the eggs of E. multilocularis. The parasite is commonly maintained in a wildlife life cycle involving two mammalian hosts. Wild canids, dogs, and less commonly cats act as definitive hosts, harbouring the adult stage of the tape worm. Voles are the intermediate ...
