The males are around 20mm in length, whereas the females are larger at between 80-130mm in length.<br /> <br /> ==Life Cycle==<br /> This is an indirect life cycle. Eggs are released into the environment through coughing and sneezing. Eggs are ingested by an intermediate host, most commonly the sheep and cattle. The larvae develop and migrate into the liver and the lungs. The larvae then enter the nymphal stage. The final host is infected via ingestion of inadequately cooked meat. The nymphs then migrate to the nasal cavity and sinuses. Infective nymphs mature to adults, and can survive for up to one year.<br /> <br /> The complete life cycle takes around 6 months.<br /> <br /> {{Learning<br /> |flashcards = [[Crustacea_Flashcards_-_WikiBugs|Crustacea Flashcards]]<br /> |literature search = [http://www.cabdirect.org/search.html?rowId=1&amp;options1=AND&amp;q1=%22Linguatula+serrata%22&amp;occuring1=title&amp;rowId=2&amp;options2=AND&amp;q2=&amp;occuring2=freetext&amp;rowId=3&amp;options3=AND&amp;q3=&amp;occuring3=freetext&amp;x=41&amp;y=14&amp;publishedstart=yyyy&amp;publishedend=yyyy&amp;calendarInput=yyyy-mm-dd&amp;la=any&amp;it=any&amp;show=all ''Linguatula serrata'' publications]<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> Taylor, M.A, Coop, R.L., Wall,R.L.

<p>Jfjamet: </p> <hr /> <div>{{frontpage<br /> |pagetitle =Parasites<br /> |pagebody = Parasitism is the relationship between two organisms where one is living at the expense of the other. Parasites are highly specialised, have nutritional dependence on the host and can avoid an immunological attack. They have evolved to integrate their life cycle with that of their host species.<br /> <br /> The two main groups of parasites are the microparasites and the macroparasites. Protozoa are microparasites as they multiply within the host. Macroparasites on the other hand, establish themselves in or on the host but produce eggs or larvae which are dispersed to the environment. Macroparasites include helminths and arthropods. The number of macroparasites in the body reflects the number which invaded the animal.<br /> <br /> |contenttitle =Content<br /> |contentbody =&lt;big&gt;&lt;b&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;categorytree mode=pages&gt;Parasites&lt;/categorytree&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/big&gt;<br /> |logo =Larval tick.jpg<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Useful Resources==<br /> [[Image:Sea Lice.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sea Lice - Copyright Joseph G.
