Parasitic helminths exhibit remarkable diversity in their life cycles, although few parasite species have their whole life cycles resolved. Owing to the fact that parasite life stages within hosts are often not comparable using morphological data, genetic data provides convincing evidence of transmission pathways between intermediate and definitive hosts. We took this approach to an ecosystem level, genetically matching parasite (acanthocephalan, cestode, nematode and trematode) life stages a...
