The Dodo Parasites or Parasites for short, are antagonists in Primeval, appearing in episode 4 of series 1 : "Dodo Madness". They are parasitic entity who used Dodo as hosts until the latter bit a human.
Biography[]
At least two Parasites were each carried in an infected Dodo through a Spaghetti Junction to a football stadium in the present. One of the infected Dodos died shortly after coming through the Anomaly. During the autopsy, the Parasite exited the Dodo and went after Abby Maitland, but it was trapped by Stephen Hart inside a jar. Without a host, the Parasite then died.
The other infected Dodo was stolen by Tom and Duncan, and Tom was bitten and infected with the Parasite before the Dodo died. Tom subsequently infected a doctor with the Parasite, but the doctor was found by the Anomaly research team and was instructed to have his Parasite surgically removed. Tom, and presumably his Parasite, later died at the football stadium.
Appearance[]
The Parasite was a large cestoid with a thick, worm-like body that measured approximately forty centimetres in length in the adult stage of the Parasite's life cycle.
