Parasitology

[Losty]

Anyone know what paratenic means?

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

No, closest I found was Paragenic \Par`a*gen"ic\ (-[i^]k), a. [Pref. para- + the root of ge`nos birth.] (Biol.) Originating in the character of the germ, or at the first commencement of an individual; -- said of peculiarities of structure, character, etc.

Paratenic host:

A potential or substitute intermediate host that serves until the appropriate definitive host is reached, and in which no development of the parasite occurs; it may or may not be necessary to the completion of the parasite's life cycle.
