=== 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
