General Life-Cycle
In the complete nematode life cycle there are four larval stages, followed by the immature adult.
egg → L1 → L2 → L3 → L4 → adult
The direct life cycle is the most common
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
