not much, but they live in the intestines and feed off the nutrients in the wastes that pass through the intestines. They are transmitted by eating or ingesting infected materials, covered in some kind of excrement or wastes from an infected animal, their life cycle is that they are ingested, pass through the stomach and hatch in the intestines. They mature by entering the blood stream and are then swallowed again into the stomach, where they finish growing, and go into the intestines and proceed to lay eggs, after this they are excreted and the process re starts.
