Heteroxenous development, or heteroxeny, characterizes a parasite whose development involves several host species.^[1]

When there are two or three hosts, the development cycle is named diheteroxenous or triheteroxenous, respectively. More ambiguously, these terms are sometimes synonymized as dixenous or trixenous.^[1]
