During an infection, it utilises its host cell's metabolism to make lots of copies of the virus, which are subsequently released, and
infect new host cells while the host cell dies.
If a fecal sample is tested, the eggs can be detected but the eggs are too young to
infect a new host at this stage; the worm embryo within the egg must develop for a month or so before it becomes able to establish infection in a new host.
And as they feed this time, the parasites can
infect their new hosts with the dangerous bacteria that they have harbored since their larval stage.
After killing its host, the so - called zombie ant fungus grows from the cadaver and produces spores, which rain down on the forest floor to

Once ingested by another animal, the larvae hatch and

The embryonic worm develops in the outdoor environment inside its microscopic egg for one month before it becomes able to
infect a new host.
The egg hatches in the environment and develops from a first stage larva (the hatchling) to a second stage larva and finally a third stage larva, which is ready to
infect a new host.
Cysts are shed in the diarrhea to contaminate the environment and
infect a new host.
Parasites and bacteria are always looking for good ways to get around and
infect new hosts.
Without their Wolbachia, many female heartworms are unable to reproduce and L3 larval heartworms are not able to
infect new hosts.
If the cyst is ingested, G. lamblia can
infect its new host's intestines.
Eventually, these organisms release oocysts that can leave the body via the feces, where they can
infect new hosts.
