Abstract
The transmission of parasites often involves a high mortality of free-living stages in the environment outside the host. This may be offset by a high biotic potential. In addition, adaptations of nematode eggs and larvae that ensure their survival or increase their chances of infecting a host will reduce the potential wastage rate. Increasing transmission will have an effect equivalent to increasing the fecundity of the parasite and, energetically, may be the more favourable strategy.Keywords
