diploideilla
Diploideilla is a genus of parasitic nematodes belonging to the family Anisakidae. These worms are characterized by their small size, typically measuring a few millimeters in length, and their complex life cycles involving multiple hosts. Diploideilla species are known to parasitize marine animals, particularly fish and cetaceans, serving as their definitive hosts. The larvae of these nematodes often parasitize intermediate hosts such as crustaceans or smaller fish.
The life cycle of Diploideilla involves eggs being released into the environment via the feces of infected
While Diploideilla are generally of concern primarily within ecological and veterinary contexts, their presence can also
Overall, Diploideilla species exemplify the complex host-parasite relationships in marine ecosystems and highlight the importance of
