Cystacanth: Life cycle, Medical and veterinary relevance & Overview

A cystacanth is the infective juvenile or larval stage of an acanthocephalan, a member of the group of parasitic worms commonly known as thorny-headed worms. It follows the acanthella stage and is the stage normally transmitted to a vertebrate definitive host when that host eats an infected intermediate host or, in some life cycles, a paratenic host.
