Medical - Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) / Parasitológico seriado en materia fecal
Spanish term or phrase: parásitos superiores / elementos
Español - Inglés (USA)

En un análisis de laboratorio llamado parasitológico seriado en materia fecal, el resultado del examen macroscópico indica: "No se observan PARÁSITOS SUPERIORES ni sus ELEMENTOS."

No encuentro en español una definición de PARÁSITOS SUPERIORES como para dar con el término adecuado en inglés. No está en el diccionario de Navarro. Pienso que en esa definición entendería también a qué llaman ELEMENTOS.

¿Alguna idea?

Gracias de antemano.

I couldn't find a definition and there aren't too many examples, but I'd suggest that you stick with the original unless someone comes up with a more informed answer.

Asker: I've found the same sources. Actually, this link http://careedi.blogspot.com/2008/ has a definition of SUPERIOR PARASITES [Organisms with one (Plasmodium Falciparum) or many cells (worms). They cannot live without the help of a host.] But, since I haven't found any definition in Spanish, I'm not sure that's the most accurate translation. I'll follow your advice if nothing else comes up. Thanks a lot! Hugs!

Asker: Hi! Thanks for your answer. Interesting articles! I still cannot connect the dots here. How do you match both expressions ("parásitos superiores" and "macroparásitos")? I've been reading those links and there are definitions for macroparasites, but how do you know they are the same as "parásitos superiores"? ((( [https://www.blogdebiologia.com/parasitos.html] → [...] los macroparásitos viven en las cavidades corporales y crecen dentro de su hospedero, pero tienen un ciclo de vida que incluye «fases» que ocurren fuera del hospedero, y donde infectan a otros organismos. También los macroparásitos pueden vivir sobre su hospedero. Entre los principales macroparásitos de los animales se encuentran las tenias, los piojos, las pulgas y ciertas especies de hongos. También existen macroparásitos de vegetales, como algunas especies de hongos y de insectos, e incluso ciertas especies de plantas que obtienen agua y nutrientes de los vegetales que parasitan, a través de conexiones entre los tejidos. [...] ))) ((( [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221322441830021X] → no definitions here. ))) ((( [https://parasiteecology.wordpress.com/2013/04/19/microparasite-vs-macroparasite/#targetText=Macroparasite%20Infections%20and%20Macroparasite%20Examples,they%20are%20accumulated%20relatively%20slowly] → [...] The main distinction between microparasites and macroparasites is whether they “multiply” within their definitive host or not. Microparasites do “multiply” in their definitive host, and macroparasites do not “multiply” in their definitive host. This distinction is important because it influences the ecology and epidemiology of micro and macroparasitic infections. [...] Microparasites are tiny! [...] Macroparasites are bigger, [...] ))) Could you please explain? Thanks in advance!

major parasites / elements


Explanation:
I am simply suggesting this as an option, as the asker doesn't appear to be keen on the suggestion I've agreed with above (macroparasites).

Example sentence(s):
  • Costs of major parasites to the Australian livestock industries....
  • Principles of natural control of major parasites affecting humans, animals, and...
