General Life-Cycle
- The basic life-cycle is very simple:
- egg → L1 → L2 → L3 → L4 → adult
- With a moult in between each larval stage
- But there are many variations on this theme
Nematode Eggs
- These vary greatly in appearance and are very useful for diagnosis as they can often be detected and counted in faecal samples
- NOTE: we use the typical strongyle egg to provide us with a yard-stick for comparing sizes. A "large egg", for example, means larger than a strongyle egg. A typical strongyle egg is approximately 80µm long
