Summary Introduction

To write:

Type I survivorship curve is expected in trematodes.

Introduction:

Survivorship curve  is a graphic illustration of the count of individuals in a population or inhabitants that can be expected to live to any definite age. There are 3 general patterns of survivorship curves which are simply termed to as Type I, Type II, and Type III. 

Trematoda  is a clade or class within the Platyhelminthes. It contains 2 groups of parasitic or bloodsucking flatworms, called flukes. They belong to Animalia (Kingdom), Platyhelminthes (Phylum), Rhabditophora (Class), and Neodermata (Superorder).  They are the deadliest parasite because they can block many organs.
