The vector and intermediate host for Gongylonema pulchrum infections are coprophagous insects (dung beetles and cockroaches).

Famous quotes containing the word reservoir:
“It’s very expressive of myself. I just lump everything in a great heap which I have labeled “the past,” and, having thus emptied this deep reservoir that was once myself, I am ready to continue.”
—Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)
