转续宿主
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
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]
