Posted by: Kelly_Haller at Sat Aug 7 16:01:18 2010 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Kelly_Haller ] The ability of a parasite to infect another host depends on the type of life cycle. Some species of nematodes have a direct life cycle (no host needed), and some have indirect life cycles (intermediate host required). You will need to have a vet ID the species you are dealing with to determine the type of life cycle, and the appropriate treatment. If the life cycle of the species involved is indirect, it will not be able to move through your collection without access to an intermediate host, and therefore would be isolated within this one snake. If the life cycle is direct, it could infect other snakes in your collection through anything from direct contact, or from indirect contact with fecal material or contaminated water.
