Abstract
⺠Encystment site and temperature affect parasite reproductive strategies. ⺠High temperature may indicate lowered host longevity and narrow transmission window. Parasites adjust development strategies in response to cues related to transmission. ⺠Adaptive plasticity in parasite development is greater than previously thought.
