They live in the abdomen or stomach of their host. I was only able to make assumptions about the habitat of the species because their survival and location depends on the habitat of the host. I'm not completely sure about the various habitats of sheep and of other hosts that this parasite occupies. This species is not in any immediate danger. The animal can reproduce well and can survive under stressful conditions.
Hosts are also readily available to the animal.
This parasite lives the first stages of its life in the soil and on local plant life. As it moves, it is able to aerate the soil. This helps to control erosion and keeps the soil from clumping and hardening. The primary animal that this organism infects is sheep raised for use by humans, or in other words, domesticated sheep. This is a serious agricultural pset for farmers.
