转续宿主
外观
转续宿主(paratenic host)是指被某些寄生虫的幼虫侵入后寄生虫不能发育为成虫、但能存活并长期维持幼虫状态的非适宜宿主。只有当这些寄生虫其侵入适宜宿主体内时,才能发育为成虫。[1][2]转续宿主在寄生虫生命周期中起到桥梁作用,弥补生态或食物链中的空隙。[3]如犬锥虫(T. canis)在宿主间传递时,除非宿主是犬科动物,否则不会发生任何发育,这些能够使能犬锥虫存活并长期维持幼虫状态的宿主即为转续宿主。[4]对于卫氏并殖吸虫(Paragonimus westermani),其适宜宿主为人、犬等,1975发现因生食野猪肉导致卫氏并殖吸虫感染的病例后,研究确定野猪为卫氏并殖吸虫的转续宿主。[5][1]
