The high energy costs of egg-shell production in many helminths suggests that this structure
plays an important role in their biology. The mechanical and chemical resistance of the egg-
shell and the barrier it provides to the entry and loss of material are important in the survival
of the free-living stages within the egg. The presence of egg filaments may increase the
availability of infective stages and the operculum may be important in the infective process.
