MACROPARASITES

Typically, the parasitic helminths and arthropods. In common, parasites which do not multiply within their definitive hosts but instead manufacture transmission stages (eggs and larvae) which pass into the outside environment. Immune responses elicited against macroparasites usually depend on the number of parasites gift in a given host and tends to be of a relatively transient character. The key epidemiological measurement is usually the number of parasites for host. Such parasites are often found in a highly aggregated distribution. Contrast microparasites.
