The definitions of 41 terms (such as abiophenote, biotype, colony, deme, hostophenote, prerace, semaphoront, strain and variety) associated with intrapopulation units are discussed. It is considered that a population is an elementary evolution unit of a species involving biparental reproduction. A classification of helminth intrapopulation units is proposed. This consists of non-taxonomic intrapopulation units (larval and various developmental forms) and taxonomic units.
