strobilation

Example:Understanding the life cycle of the parasite is crucial for effective treatment and prevention strategies.

Definition:The complete series of changes that a living organism undergoes from birth or hatching to death, especially the repeating series of generations in organisms that can reproduce asexually.

Example:Research into the strobilation process in parasitic nematodes has led to new insights into their life cycles and potential control methods.

Definition:A type of roundworm that can cause parasitic infections in various hosts, including humans and animals. These worms live within the host's body and can cause significant harm.

Example:Understanding the role of the definitive host in the strobilation process is essential for developing effective control measures.

Definition:The primary host in which the adult form of a parasite occurs; for example, in the parasitic life cycle of a nematode, this is the host in which the parasite reaches sexual maturity and reproduces.
